Increasing Costs of Packaging Compliance

June 25th, 2017
Companies are facing higher packaging costs across Europe. Some countries now charge increased recycling fees for poorly-designed packaging. Did you know that:

  • Since 2012, packaging producers in France have paid up to 150% higher recycling fees for non-recoverable consumer packaging
  • In 2017, Italy will trial higher fees for harder-to-recycle plastics in household and commercial/industrial packaging. Germany has proposed legislation that will introduce reduced recycling fees for packaging which is easier to recycle 
  • There are now more than 140 packaging recycling schemes to choose from across Europe, with significant variations in membership costs and recycling fees 
This webinar shows how your company can avoid paying higher packaging recycling fees across Europe by using Sphera's EC4P.com Environmental Compliance 4 Products compliance portal.

We can manage your compliance to registration, recycling and reporting obligations, and keep you up-to-date with the ever-changing legal requirements in each country.
