Complete your EPR report
online with ease

Any company that sells, imports, or distributes packaged goods, electronics, batteries, or textiles into a country with EPR regulation — including France, Germany, Spain, or the UK — is likely in scope. This covers businesses selling on Amazon, eBay, or Shopify into the EU or UK, anyone importing or producing goods under their own brand, and anyone using a fulfilment service such as Amazon FBA. If you run a B2C business in any EPR country, you’ll need an EPR number and must submit your reports through an approved platform. Check if you are in scope

Each country runs its own scheme, with its own authority, PRO, and deadline — France works through ADEME and Citeo, Germany through the ZSVR and LUCID, Spain through MITECO and Ecoembes, and the UK through the Environment Agency’s pEPR scheme. Some markets go further than others: France is the only one here with a dedicated textile stream (Refashion), and some UK producers must also keep a UK EPR safety report on file alongside their packaging data. The table below breaks down each market side by side.

Sourced from national authority guidance and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Reg. 2025/40) — verify against the primary source before relying on a specific date. See our France, Germany, Spain, and UK guides for the full detail.

Most schemes ask for one filing a year, though large sellers of electronics and batteries may need to report every quarter — see the table above for exact dates per country. Lappa users don’t need to track any of this manually: deadlines for both your EPR annual report and any periodic EPR payment report appear automatically in the dashboard with reminders attached. Yearly filings through Lappa start from €190 (excl. tax) for packaging and €250 for other product types. Check EPR Guides for your country

A PRO is the body that helps producers meet their EPR obligations on the ground — it manages your contracts, collects your eco-fees, and arranges the recycling those fees fund. In many countries, including France and Germany, you legally cannot file an EPR report without an active PRO membership in place first. Lappa coordinates directly with PROs across our supported countries, so registration and reporting happen through one connected process instead of separate manual steps with each one.

Lappa supports you through registration with each relevant EPR programme, coordination with the right PRO in every country, and the actual preparation and submission of your reports. EPR automation shortens the whole preparation cycle and removes most of the manual error that comes from stitching spreadsheets together by hand, while filing on time protects your access to marketplaces that now check EPR status before allowing new listings. Start a free trial

The safest way to work out how to report is to start from where you sell and what you sell, since both determine which scheme, PRO, and deadline apply to you. From there, Lappa maps your obligations automatically and shows you exactly what data to pull, which schema to use, and when it’s due. If you’re ever unsure, our support team can walk through your specific setup rather than leaving you to interpret a country’s official guidance alone. Book a demo
