Packaging EPR · EU-27 · PPWR

Selling into Europe? We handle your packaging EPR.

Send us your packaging and destination countries once. We handle the country-by-country registrations, EPR arrangements and ongoing reporting under the package you choose. No revenue threshold — this is built for exactly the case of shipping small volumes into many EU countries.

Transparent pricing: you'll always see our own service fee on its own line, separate from external authority, PRO and representative costs — charged at actual cost, with no markup.

The problem

One product, 27 rulebooks

Under EU packaging rules, whoever first places packaging on a national market is the "producer" — and must register with that country's authority, join a producer responsibility organisation (PRO), and report packaging by material and weight. The rules, fees, thresholds and representative requirements differ in every member state, and change every year.

For a small cross-border seller, the administrative burden is wildly disproportionate to the actual packaging volume. Most sellers don't even know they're liable — until a marketplace or an authority asks for a registration number. And the more countries you sell into, the faster the work multiplies.

  • Registrations with every national authority
  • PRO membership — country by country, e.g. ARA, Fost Plus, Der Grüne Punkt
  • Authorised representative (AR) in countries that require one for foreign sellers
  • Annual kg reporting by material category
  • Deadlines that differ by country and shift every year
  • Fees — authority, PRO, notary and representative costs, all separate

How it works

Four steps to full packaging EPR compliance

Choose a package, send your details once — and approve everything in a single view before anything is charged.

1

Choose a package

Choose our Small, Standard or Full package based on how many countries you sell into, and whether you want to report yourself or have us do it.

2

Send your packaging details

Tell us your destination countries, packaging components, materials and weights, and your estimated sales volumes. One form, a few minutes.

3

Get a single approval view

We bring together your package, active countries, our fee, external costs and any required signatures in one view. You approve everything at once — before anything is charged.

4

We handle registration and reporting

Once approved, we complete the registrations, PRO memberships and any representative arrangement, and handle kg reporting and deadlines under your package — year after year.

Who it's for

Built for small exporters

The best fit is a straightforward packaged product sold in small volumes into several EU countries.

No revenue threshold

No revenue threshold. If you ship packaged products into a few EU countries, this is built for you — even while sales are still small.

Many countries, small volumes

The clearest sign you need us: you sell into several countries, but packaging volumes are small in each. That's exactly when the admin work is disproportionate to do yourself.

Simple packaging

Works best with straightforward packaging — a box, filler, tape and a label. Describe your packaging once; we reuse the same record in every country.

No in-house compliance team

You don't need to hire a specialist or learn the rules of 27 countries. We're the team you don't need to hire in-house.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need to deal with this as a small seller?

If you bring packaged products into another EU country's market, that country's packaging EPR rules usually apply to you regardless of size. Enforcement and marketplace checks keep increasing. We'll tell you honestly where you are and aren't liable — we won't sell you something you don't need.

Which package is right for me?

If you sell into 1–5 countries and want to keep costs low, the Small package fits — you get ready-made spreadsheet templates and report yourself. If you'd rather we handle reporting for up to ten countries, choose the Standard package. If you sell broadly across the whole EU and want a direct webshop or ERP connection, the Full package covers all 27 countries in one go.

What does it cost?

You pay a base fee, a per-country activation fee and an annual service fee under your chosen package — we'll confirm exact prices soon, together with our first customers. On top of that come external authority, PRO and representative costs, charged at actual cost — on their own lines, with no markup. These will be market-test service prices, not statutory fees.

What about my domestic Finnish packaging reporting?

Finland's own producer responsibility scheme (for example via Rinki) covers only packaging placed on the Finnish market, not exports. We handle the cross-border side — the part your domestic PRO doesn't cover.

What happens to my data?

We only use your data to assess your packaging EPR obligations, prepare your approval view, and complete registrations. We never give a binding price from a form alone — we verify country-specific fees against a live source before showing them to you. The data controller is Pakkausvastuu (Kanto Systems Oy).
