Complete your EPR report
online with ease

EPR reporting is essential for:

• Minimizing environmental impacts.
• Promoting sustainable practices through recycling and waste management.
• Ensuring compliance with European environmental regulations.

Any company that sells, imports, or distributes packaged goods, electronics, batteries, or textiles in countries with EPR regulations like France, Germany, Spain, or the UK. You must report if you:

• Sell on Amazon, eBay, or Shopify in the EU or UK
• Import or produce goods under your brand
• Use a third-party fulfilment service (e.g. Amazon FBA)
• Operate a B2C business in an EPR country

You’ll need an EPR number and must submit EPR reports through an approved EPR platform.

In most places, you report once a year. But for big sellers of electronics and batteries, it’s every quarter. Reporting times depend on your license and usually last from January 1 to August 1, depending on the country. For example, in the UK, if you make packaging, you must send your yearly EPR report by May 31 the next year. In France, if you make batteries, you need to send your EPR reports every quarter by the 15th day after the quarter ends. Lovat users don’t need to worry about deadlines. They can check their EPR deadline in the Lovat dashboard and get reminders. Prices for yearly reports start at 190 euros (without tax) for packaging and 250 euros for other types.

EPR reporting typically includes:

• Details about the materials used in packaging.
• Data on recycled content and post-consumer waste.
• Information on waste management efforts and recycling programs.

The Extended Producer rules mean your business must give detailed information in three areas:

• What material your packaging is made of.
• The kind of packaging you use.
• The type of waste the packaging creates.

Packaging such as coated paper, cartons for liquids (such as juice, milk, and other beverages), coffee cups, and similar types of packaging it’s a fibre composite packaging.

No, when reporting the weight of the packaging under EPR regulations in Spain, you should only include the weight of the packaging itself, not the weight of the product inside. The regulations focus on the packaging materials’ environmental impact on the market. Ensure you include all components of the packaging, such as boxes, wrappers, and any other materials used. For precise compliance, consult the guidelines provided by relevant authorities, such as the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.
