Path to European EPR Compliance
As EU environmental compliance requirements continue to tighten—particularly for packaging waste—CognitionHub identified the need for a scalable way to handle EPR obligations across multiple EU member states.
Because EPR frameworks differ significantly between countries (scope definitions, thresholds, reporting formats, and timelines), managing multi-country EPR internally can become time-intensive—especially when teams and data are distributed across functions.
Why Lappa
After evaluating compliance partners, CognitionHub selected Lappa for its ability to manage multi-country EPR compliance through a single integrated platform and operational support model—reducing internal burden while increasing confidence in country-specific formalities.
Key strengths included:
- Managing legal prerequisites for EPR registration in each country (starting with packaging)
- Clarifying scope and material classification rules for reporting
- Providing transparent cost estimates, structured timelines, and clear invoicing
Offering ongoing support for reporting cycles, eco-fee administration, and compliance maintenance
Results & Impact
Establish structured, repeatable EPR workflows suitable for cross-border operations
Reduce regulatory risk and uncertainty through country-specific guidance and oversight
Standardize data collection and classification processes to support accurate reporting
Streamline multi-country reporting through automation and centralized compliance management
What’s Next
As EU sustainability and producer responsibility rules continue to evolve—adding stricter reporting expectations and expanding scope in certain countries—CognitionHub plans to maintain compliance across the EU markets relevant to its commercial activities.
Lappa will continue supporting CognitionHub as a long-term compliance partner through renewals, ongoing reporting, regulatory updates, and expansion into additional European jurisdictions as CognitionHub grows.
