Path to European EPR Compliance
As European environmental regulation expanded to cover additional product categories, Sleepens identified the need to comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements in the countries where it sells mattresses. In addition to packaging EPR obligations applicable across the EU, some markets — such as France — impose specific EPR schemes for furniture and mattresses, requiring producers and sellers to register, report volumes placed on the market, and contribute eco-fees to approved producer responsibility organizations.
For an online retailer operating cross-border, EPR compliance involved navigating different national rules, registration processes, reporting formats, and fee structures. Without a coordinated compliance strategy, Sleepens faced potential risks including fines, sales restrictions, and marketplace enforcement actions.
Sleepens required a reliable partner to manage EPR registrations, clarify applicable obligations by country, and ensure accurate and ongoing reporting across its European sales footprint.
