How to change your registration in the LUCID Packaging Register
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:
First, log in to the LUCID Packaging Register.
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.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 Add new brand names, or remove brand names that are no longer valid.
