The Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) was created to concentrate market oversight for requirements on the distributors of packaging and waste management systems, and to make oversight more effective. In collaboration with state enforcement authorities, the aim of the ZSVR is to instil transparency and fair competition in the practice of producer responsibility for packaging. This includes the elimination of the competitive disadvantages created by free riders, which in the past led to damages in excess of €200 million annually that had to be borne by law-abiding companies.
