What is an EPR representative

An EPR representative (also called an Authorized Representative or AR) is a legal entity appointed by foreign companies to fulfill Extended Producer Responsibility obligations in countries where they don’t have a physical establishment. The EPR representative acts as the official point of contact with regulatory authorities and ensures compliance with all local EPR requirements.

L’EPR serves as your trusted EPR representative across Europe, taking full responsibility for your EPR compliance so you can focus on selling your products without legal barriers.

Frequently asked questions

What is an EPR authorised representative and why do I need one

An EPR authorised representative is a local entity appointed by a non-resident producer to fulfil extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations in a specific country. They act on behalf of the producer with authorities, manage reporting and compliance, and ensure the producer meets legal requirements.

Which countries require an EPR authorised representative

Many European markets and some global jurisdictions require non-EU manufacturers or importers to appoint an EPR authorised representative to register, report data, and pay fees under local EPR laws. Requirements differ by country and product category.

What are the responsibilities of an EPR authorised representative

An authorised representative manages producer registration, annual reporting, fee payments, and correspondence with regulators. They also help ensure compliance with local EPR rules and handle audits or data submissions as required.

Can one EPR authorised representative cover multiple countries

In some regions, one authorised representative can support multiple markets if they are legally recognised in each jurisdiction. In other cases, you may need local representatives per country based on EPR legislation.

What happens if I don’t appoint an EPR authorised representative

Failing to appoint a necessary authorised representative can lead to fines, denied market access, product seizures, and legal penalties. Non-compliant producers may also face reputational risks with customers and regulators.
