EPR Product Compliance for Marketplaces and Fulfilment

• Operators of electronic marketplaces and fulfilment service providers must check as of 1 July 2023 whether producers/retailers have duly registered their electrical and electronic equipment with the Elektro-Altgeräte Register (EAR) foundation.
• If producers (traders can also be producers within the meaning of ElektroG) or authorised representatives are not properly registered or not registered at all, operators of electronic marketplaces may not enable their electrical equipment to be offered or made available. Fulfillment service providers are not permitted to perform warehousing, packaging, addressing or shipping with respect to electrical or electronic equipment from these producers.
• take-e-way offers electronic market places and fulfilment providers EPR solutions for the ElektroG registration at the Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register in Germany with the aim that all sales partners have a valid WEEE registration number and also fulfil downstream obligations permanently.

• Since 1 July 2022, all retailers who commercially place packaged goods on the market in Germany have been required to register in the LUCID Packaging Register – regardless of the specific types of packaging. Any violations will trigger an automatic ban on distribution. 
• The marketplaces have their own direct inspection obligations and must check whether their online retailers are complying with packaging law obligations. Fulfilment service providers must also ensure that their principals behave in a legally compliant manner. They are no longer allowed to offer their services to customers who violate the Packaging Act.
• take-e-way offers electronic marketplaces and fulfilment providers EPR solutions under the Packaging Act and the respective national implementations of all EU member states.
• If necessary, we will provide the authorised representative for your distribution partners throughout Europe.

• A responsible person based in the European Union (EU) – also referred to as an EU authorised representative, authorised representative under the Product Safety Act (ProdSG), EU representative or EU-REP – assists producers and importers in fulfilling certain obligations. The reason: non-food products are subject to numerous regulations within the EU, compliance with which must be ensured by the producer and/or importer. 
• Among other things, this concerns obligations under the Product Safety Act (ProdSG), but also in terms of the Market Surveillance Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020). A producer not established in the EU must ensure that an economic operator responsible for its products is established in the European Union.
• This is exactly the function we take on as the responsible person of your distribution partners.
• With the aid of our international partner network, we can offer you an authorised representative for electrical appliances, batteries and packaging throughout Europe. We also provide the authorised representative for the topics of product safety, CE and EPREL.

We offer external quality management for non-food products for your distribution partners. The aim is to test all aspects of marketability. This means that your customers are largely protected from written admonitions and can sell successfully on your platform.

We are independent of testing institutes and therefore able to establish the product conformity of your distribution partners at low prices.

We can support your distribution partners with advice and testing especially in the field of labelling products and packaging. Again, you stand to benefit from our international expertise in this regard.
