What EPR EU Connect is
Self-service software that turns your sales into your EPR figures. You connect your shops or upload a spreadsheet and enter the packaging of each product once. Connect counts what you placed on the German market by material, and flags what is missing. You set up your products, check the figures and approve them; we file them under your representative plan.
What is included
- Sales imported directly from Amazon, WooCommerce, eBay and Cdiscount, or from a spreadsheet. Our Shopify app is waiting for Shopify's review.
- Packaging entered once per product, then counted on every sale, by material and by country.
- Products with missing or doubtful packaging data flagged, with a request letter ready to send to the supplier.
- Your existing products imported from a spreadsheet, or one by one.
- A forecast of your dual-system fees from your own figures.
- Draft PPWR declarations of conformity and technical files for your packaging, with evidence requests for your suppliers.
Connect is software only. Setting up your products, checking your data, chasing suppliers, the year-end review and corrections are done by our team in Managed EPR. Without Managed EPR, a year-end review costs €500, one-off.
What Connect counts for Germany
| Stream | What Connect gives you |
|---|---|
| Packaging | Weight by material (paper, plastic, glass, metal, aluminium, wood), from the packaging you enter for each product: the figures for your dual-system licence and your data reports |
| Electrical equipment and batteries | Not counted by the software for Germany: your stiftung ear reports are filed from the figures you give us |
Who does what
| Task | You | Connect | Our team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales data | Connect your shops or upload a file | Imports and counts every sale | Technical support if an import fails |
| Packaging per product | Enter it once, for each new product | Counts it on every sale | — |
| Missing data | Contact your suppliers | Flags the gaps and drafts the request | — |
| Licence and reports | Check and approve the figures | Gives totals by material | File them under your plan |
Want our team to check your data and chase your suppliers? That is Managed EPR, which runs on the same software.
An example, from sales to licence figures
A demonstration with made-up products, not a client's data:
| Step | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| What you send | Your sales export: product A, 1,200 units sold in Germany; product B, 3,000 units |
| What you add once | The packaging of each product: product A ships in a cardboard box of 180 g with 20 g of paper fill; product B in a plastic bag of 12 g |
| What the software flags | Products with no packaging data yet, weights that look wrong, and a request letter ready for each supplier who owes you a figure |
| What you get | Totals by material for your licence and reports: 240 kg of paper and cardboard, 36 kg of plastic, with each figure traced back to the sales and packaging behind it |
Sales data alone cannot give packaging weights. Each packaging item's weight is entered once, by you or from your supplier's sheet; after that, every new sale is counted from the packaging on file.
