Just getting started? Check here if you have any obligations under German packaging law – and what you need to do.

Registration alone is not enough for certain types of packaging. Learn more about how to fulfil the system participation requirement and report your packaging volumes.
Explore this section for more guidance and information, definitions and general help in complying with the law, no matter your sector, distribution channel or logistics solution.
