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.
A Dutch food producer that places considerable packaging volumes on the German market every year together with its goods repeatedly failed to file a declaration of completeness. The company has been fined several thousand euros for this breach of duty, as documented in a case report just published by the ZSVR.
Even though the company's packaging volumes exceeded the statutory thresholds, it failed to file a declaration of completeness in three consecutive years. The ZSVR reported the suspected case to the responsible enforcement authority, which opened proceedings against the company.
