Coverage

Packaging EPR, organised country by country

Each country can have its own registrations, material categories, deadlines, producer-responsibility organisations and reporting formats. The list below is the current published set, not a claim that every European market is covered.

What the statuses mean

Statuses describe operational readiness for contracted work. They do not mean that legislation exists, or that filings are live, just because a country appears here.

Available

Verified operational workflow available for contracted clients.

In preparation

Rules, partners or operational workflows are being validated.

Planned

Coverage is planned but not yet available for contracted work.

How a country becomes available

A country is marked Available only after the operational workflow has been prepared. The existence of national legislation is not enough.

  1. 01

    Official rules mapped

    National categories, roles and reporting rules are captured in a versioned rule pack.

  2. 02

    Reporting process documented

    Registers, schemes, calendars and file formats are written down for operations.

  3. 03

    Local requirements and partners verified

    Local steps and, where the contract needs them, country partners are checked. A partner is not automatically an authorised representative.

  4. 04

    Internal workflow tested

    Data, review, approval and filing steps are tested before client work is accepted.

  5. 05

    Country marked Available

    Only then is the country offered as a verified operational workflow for contracted clients.
