Austria’s Packaging Ordinance requires businesses placing packaged products on the Austrian market to fulfil applicable packaging licensing and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations.
Calculate your estimated annual packaging compliance costs using our Austria Packaging Calculator. Enter your packaging quantities by material category to get a clear overview of the applicable fees.
Packaging placed on the Austrian market generally needs to participate in an authorised collection and recovery system. Your licensing fees depend on the packaging materials, quantities and applicable fee structure.
Businesses selling through Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Temu and other online marketplaces may need to meet Austrian packaging compliance requirements when supplying packaged goods to Austrian customers.
Companies established outside Austria that sell packaged goods directly to Austrian private consumers through distance selling generally need to appoint an authorised representative established in Austria. Complico can help you understand the applicable requirements.
Calculate your packaging quantities for materials including paper and cardboard, glass, ferrous metals, aluminium, plastics, beverage cartons, composite materials, wood and other applicable categories.
Correctly classify your packaging and estimate the kilograms placed on the Austrian market each year. For eligible low-volume household packaging, a minimum or flat-rate fee may apply under the relevant system's tariff conditions.
Packaging compliance continues after registration. Keep your quantity records accurate, review your annual estimates and complete the applicable declarations and reporting obligations to support ongoing compliance in Austria.
