EPR obligations in multiple countries

Does this apply to your company? International EPR obligations are relevant if you: sell products directly to customers in other countries operate a webshop or engage in distance selling across markets export packaging, electronics or batteries use distributors, resellers or subsidiaries in multiple countries If you are unsure, we can help you with an initial assessment of whether and in which countries your company is likely to have obligations.

Retur is a co-founder of Nordic PRO Solutions, a formalised collaboration between Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The partners are NORSIRK (Norway), El-Kretsen and TMR (Sweden) and Sumi (Finland).

Local expertise in each country

The national partners know the rules, authorities and practices in their respective markets — and keep track of changes to requirements and deadlines so you are informed before action is required on your part.

Coordinated reporting

Reporting and documentation are coordinated across the Nordic countries, which significantly reduces the administrative burden compared with managing each market separately.
