EU PPWR
The Dutch producer responsibility organization, rebranded from Afvalfonds Verpakkingen to Verpact, that administers producer responsibility and collects the packaging levy in the Netherlands.
Verpact, which rebranded from Afvalfonds Verpakkingen and whose former domain now redirects, collects the Dutch packaging management contribution from producers and importers and funds collection and recycling. Reporting is annual, by material, with an audit requirement above a defined tonnage.
A one thousand kilogram annual threshold exempts the smallest producers from the contribution, though registration expectations still apply as volumes approach the line.
The Netherlands also operates deposit systems for plastic bottles and cans, administered separately, so beverage producers deal with two parallel regimes and must avoid reporting the same containers to both.
A system charging a refundable deposit on beverage containers to drive high return rates, usually operating alongside but separately from EPR.
A collective scheme that producers join to discharge their EPR obligations, handling registration, reporting infrastructure, fee collection and recycling contracts.
The annual declaration of packaging weight by material category placed on a market, and the basis for nearly every EPR invoice.
Packgine resolves your packaging to component level and applies the rules of every market you sell into.
