International compliance
Get comprehensive support for your producer compliance obligations beyond the UK.
What is international compliance?
Producer responsibility regulations are enforced across the EU and beyond. They impact producers of packaging, single-use plastics (SUPs), batteries, textiles and Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE).
Obligated producers must register and report detailed data on the packaging and products they supply in each individual country. Even offering a product for sale online beyond the UK can result in an obligation.
Each country has its own producer thresholds, reporting requirements, and financial obligations. International compliance can be complex and time-consuming to navigate. We have the support you need.
Who is impacted?
The thresholds vary from country to country, but your organisation will likely be obligated if you meet the general criteria below. Your required actions will depend on the country, your activities and business size.
Are you obligated?
Your organisation will likely be classed as an obligated producer under international compliance regulations if any of the following apply:
- You are a UK-based business exporting products
- You offer products for sale beyond the UK via a website or mail order
- You have a physical presence outside the UK
What do you need to do?
For each country you are obligated in, you may have to:
- Register with the relevant authority in that country
- Collect and report detailed data about your packaging and products
- Fulfil any financial obligations
- Inform consumers how to recycle your packaging and products
