The ZSVR issues a warning about scam e-mails: Scam e-mails claiming to be from the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) are currently being sent to registered companies. The scam e-mails contain text taken from the ZSVR’s own communications asking users to fulfil their legal obligation to undertake system participation. Attempts are made to obtain confidential data such as passwords and master data. Neither this e-mail nor any of the links it may contain originate from the ZSVR. The links lead to unsafe websites. Please ignore these messages.
You can recognise e-mails from the ZSVR by the sender address, which always ends with ‘@verpackungsregister.org’ or ‘@email.verpackungsregister.org’. It also helps if you label e-mails with an incorrect sender address as spam in your systems.
The system participation requirement applies to any party who is the first to place retail and/or grouped packaging filled with goods that typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers after use (referred to as 'packaging subject to system participation' in the Act) onto the German market on a commercial basis (referred to as 'producers' in the Act).
