EPR Compliance Guide for Germany
Obligations for Manufacturers & Importers under ElektroG4, BattDG & VerpackDG
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Germany. It is intended for all companies that bring electrical equipment, batteries, or packaged goods onto the German market for the first time.
Learn step by step which registration, reporting, and disposal obligations apply to you under ElektroG4, BattDG, and VerpackDG. We clarify the legal roles of manufacturers and importers, show the necessary compliance steps at Stiftung EAR and in the LUCID register, and help you avoid significant fines or sales bans.
Stiftung ear: WEEE Registration and ElektroG4
The Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Stiftung ear) monitors the implementation of ElektroG4 (Electrical Equipment Act) and BattDG (Battery Act). The goal is a competitive market and environmentally sound disposal of old devices.
ZSVR & LUCID: The Packaging Act (VerpackDG)
The Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) controls compliance with VerpackDG. Companies that bring goods-filled sales, outer, or shipping packaging into circulation for the first time must be listed in the LUCID register.
Key Obligations for Manufacturers
Registration Obligation
Every manufacturer and product must be registered in the ear portal. Without a valid WEEE registration number, electrical devices may neither be imported nor sold in Germany.
Insolvency-Proof Guarantee
To finance future disposal, an annually reviewed guarantee must be deposited.
Quantity Reporting
Manufacturers must report the quantities placed on the market monthly and annually by category and brand.
Collection Coordination
Stiftung ear coordinates the provision of collection containers and the collection of old devices from public waste management authorities.
Important
Foreign manufacturers without a German branch must appoint an official authorized representative according to § 8 ElektroG to fulfill their obligations.
The Most Important Requirements
LUCID Registration
Every company (first distributor) needs a LUCID number. Since July 2022, the registration obligation also applies to transport, reusable, and commercial packaging.
System Participation (Licensing)
To finance the disposal infrastructure, manufacturers must conclude a contract with a dual system and pay licensing fees.
Data Reporting
The quantities of packaging used must be reported identically to both the dual system and the LUCID portal.
Recyclability
The law requires continuous optimization of packaging with regard to material recycling.
Who Legally Qualifies as a Manufacturer?
Within the EU directives and national laws (ElektroG4, BattDG, VerpackDG), the term "manufacturer" is broadly defined. The decisive factor is the role as the first distributor on the German market.
1. Electrical Equipment Act (ElektroG4)
Anyone who places electrical or electronic equipment on the German market for the first time under their own name or brand is considered a manufacturer under ElektroG4 — regardless of whether they produce the devices themselves or source them from third parties. This also applies to importers from non-EU countries and online retailers selling directly to end consumers in Germany.
2. Battery Act (BattDG)
Under the Battery Act (BattDG), a manufacturer is anyone who professionally places batteries on the German market for the first time — whether as a producer, importer, or online retailer. This includes batteries sold separately as well as those integrated into devices or vehicles. Registration with the Stiftung EAR and participation in an approved take-back system are mandatory.
3. Packaging Act (VerpackDG)
Under the Packaging Act (VerpackDG), a manufacturer is anyone who places filled packaging on the German market for the first time and passes it on to end consumers — either directly or through the supply chain. This includes producers, importers, and online retailers. Registration in the LUCID packaging register and participation in a licensed dual system are legally required.
