Ready to complete your German Packaging Act (VerpackG) compliance and LUCID registration? Apply now.
Add To CartGermany's Packaging Act (VerpackG) requires businesses placing packaged products on the German market to fulfil Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations, including LUCID registration and packaging system participation.
LUCID is Germany's central packaging register operated by the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (ZSVR). Businesses covered by VerpackG must register and report their packaging data through LUCID.
Packaging placed on the German market must generally participate in a dual system. Your annual EPR contribution is calculated based on the weight and type of packaging materials you place on the market.
Amazon, eBay, Kaufland, Temu, and other marketplaces may require sellers to demonstrate German packaging compliance. A valid LUCID registration and packaging system participation are essential for selling packaged products in Germany.
Non-German companies selling packaged products in Germany may need an Authorised Representative to fulfil their German VerpackG obligations. We can manage the representation and compliance process for your business.
EPR fees depend on the materials you place on the German market, including paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminium, ferrous metals, beverage cartons, and composite packaging.
Businesses must report the quantities and types of packaging placed on the German market and ensure that their LUCID data matches the information reported to their dual system.
Packaging obligations continue after registration. Businesses must keep their packaging data up to date and complete the required annual declarations and reporting. We can manage your ongoing compliance requirements.
