EPR compliance to sell Electrical and Electronic Equipment in Germany

If you sell Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) in Germany, you will need to comply with the Extended Responsibility Producer (EPR) obligations by the end of this year.

Otherwise, on 1 January 2023, Amazon will be legally obliged to suspend your non-compliant listings.

Important: The registration process may take more than 10 weeks, so we advise you to review the information below and start your registration today.

For more information on EPR and requirements, see Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Education. Also, you can review the Guide to become compliant with EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) packaging requirements in Germany.

To determine if you’re a producer, see the Stiftung elektro-altgeräte (Stiftung EAR) website. If you are not a producer, go to the EAR’s Producer Directory to check if all your EEE listings (brand and type of equipment combinations) on Amazon EPR Reports are from registered producers or from foreign producers whose authorised representatives are registered.

Note: The website is only available in German. If the products are not registered, you will have to register as the producer of those products or ask your EEE product supplier to register and provide you with their Registration Numbers (also referred to as WEEE-Reg.-Nr.). If you require support on the WEEE Authorised Representative appointing and registration process, you can contact one of our approved service providers through our EPR Service Provider Network.
