How to change your registration in the LUCID Packaging Register

Have you registered your company with the LUCID Packaging Register and would like to change or add details about your master data, packaging types or brand names? Here we explain how it works.

Heads-up

The PPWR, which enters into force on 12 August 2026, reorganises the responsibilities for packaging. Please note you are responsible for checking whether this requires any changes for your registration with the LUCID Packaging Register; if so, please update your information immediately. You have an ongoing duty to ensure that the information on file is always correct and up to date.

Changing packaging types or brand names

We will explain step by step how to make changes to your packaging types and/or brand names in the LUCID Packaging Register:

  1. First, log in to the LUCID Packaging Register.

  2. Go to the 'Details about the packaging' tile to edit or add details about your packaging types.
    Heads-up: you have different obligations under packaging law to fulfil depending on whether the packaging you are making available in Germany is or is not subject to system participation.

  3. You will then be automatically prompted to enter the brand names. Check whether you have to adjust the packaging category for existing brand names (packaging subject to system participation or not subject to system participation). Add new brand names, or remove brand names that are no longer valid.

Heads-up: If you only need to adjust your brand names, you can click directly on the 'Brand names' tile.

Can't find any brand name on the packaging?

Frequently asked questions 

You can amend your company details directly online via the LUCID Packaging Register. You do not need to send an additional notification to the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR), for example by e-mail.

Please proceed as follows:

  1. Use your login credentials to sign in to the LUCID Packaging Register

  2. Open the 'Master data' tile by clicking on 'Edit'. 

  3. Click the editing symbol on the right, next to the 'Master data' section you wish to edit, and then make the necessary adjustments. 

  4. Scroll down to the 'Declarations' section and check the boxes to save your changes.

  5. Then press the 'Submit' button.

You can change your login e-mail address via a login transfer in the master data of your registration. Please proceed as follows: 

  1. Use your login credentials to sign in to the LUCID Packaging Register

  2. Click the 'Edit' button in the 'Master data' tile.

  3. You will see the 'Recovery contacts' section towards the middle of the page. Click on the editing symbol on the right.

The public register of producers is updated once a day. Changes to your registration data will therefore generally not be visible in the register until the next day.

Registration may only be terminated if your company is no longer subject to obligations under packaging law as a producer pursuant to the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Once a registration has been terminated, it cannot be reactivated. You should therefore check in advance if the requirements for termination have been met. Further information can be found on the Distinguishing between manufacturers & producers page.

You are responsible for terminating the registration with the LUCID Packaging Register yourself. A written notification to the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) is neither required nor legally valid. You will receive confirmation that your registration has been terminated immediately afterwards. The relevant administrative act (confirmation document) is sent automatically to the e-mail address filed with the account, so please ensure that the e-mail address provided is valid before you terminate the registration. 

  1. To terminate your registration, please proceed as follows:

  2. Use your login credentials to sign in to the LUCID Packaging Register. 

  3. Click 'Edit' in the 'Master data' tile.

  4. At the very bottom of the page, you will find the section where you can terminate your registration. 

  5. Open this section and click on 'Terminate registration'.
