Compliance Scope
What We Review Before a PPWR Representative Setup
A representative appointment should be based on the actual company role, countries of sale, packaging portfolio and available documentation. The following information helps identify registration duties, reporting requirements and documentation gaps.
| Review area | Information needed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Company role | Manufacturer, importer, distributor, brand owner, marketplace seller or distance seller. | Determines who may be treated as producer and who may carry registration or reporting duties. |
| Countries of sale | EU Member States where packaged products are sold, shipped, stored or fulfilled. | Packaging EPR procedures and practical registration steps may still involve national systems. |
| Packaging data | Packaging types, materials, weights, annual quantities, labels, coatings and separability information. | Reliable data is needed for registration, reporting, recyclability review and evidence management. |
| Sales channels | Own web shop, marketplace, B2B distribution, fulfillment provider or importer structure. | Marketplace checks, importer responsibilities and cross-border logistics can affect practical compliance risk. |
| Existing status | Current packaging registrations, EPR scheme participation, reports and authority correspondence. | Existing gaps should be identified before representative appointment or expansion into additional markets. |
