The dual-system licence
We conclude the licence in our name for your packaging, as the law has the representative do. You receive a proforma invoice with an order number and pay it by bank transfer; we pay the dual system. Most of our clients ship under 100 kg a year, where the licence is usually the system's minimum annual fee, typically €25 to €45. Your own figure: the calculator.
Who you sign with
EPRGermanyRep GbR, Im Mediapark 5, 50670 Köln, registered with the Gewerbemeldestelle Köln on 1 October 2026, represented by Dragos Razvan Toma and Alina Andrea Toma. Its seat in Germany is what § 5(2) VerpackDG requires of a representative. Full details: legal notice.
When we start
Once you have paid, signed the mandate and named us in LUCID, we confirm the appointment the same day.
Renewal and leaving
The fee covers the calendar year. Your LUCID registration is yours: if you change representative, it stays, and you name the new one in it.
Razvan Toma is the founder of EPR Germany Rep and of EPR France Rep, the French sister service. He has worked in waste management and recycling since 2009, running waste-separation programmes inside large B2B organisations in France for clients including Chanel, Microsoft, Decathlon, Pirelli, IKEA, Vinci, Capgemini and E.Leclerc. He reads the statutes and the regulator's own guidance directly, and publishes what they say — including when it means telling a visitor they do not need to buy anything.
