Your interface. Our representation.

Put your brand on the EPR client journey for Germany, France and Spain. The mandate names our representative, because the law requires it; commercial terms by agreement.

Since 12 August 2026, § 5 VerpackDG, implementing Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2025/40, requires a producer with no establishment in Germany to appoint an authorised representative before it first makes packaging available in Germany. Read § 5

Checked: 7 November 2026 — the date every statement on this page was checked against the sources below.

Quick answer

Your brand can carry the whole client journey; the legal appointment stays with the representative. The mandate names EPRGermanyRep GbR, because § 5(2) VerpackDG requires a representative established in Germany and named in LUCID. Who the client pays, and who collects, is set in our written agreement.

What can carry your name

  • The interface: yours. The website or product your client uses, and the relationship.
  • The contract: by agreement. Who the client pays and who collects is set in our written agreement.
  • The mandate: ours. It names the real representative, which answers for the producer's obligations in that country.

Agree who holds the money

Licence fees are owed for as long as the producer is on the market, and the representative is exposed if they go unpaid. The agreement says who collects them, keeps a direct line between representative and client, and lets the representative end a mandate if fees stop.

Starting small

A referral page needs no agreement of this kind; you can move to white label once volumes justify it.

Frequently asked questions

Who keeps the client relationship?
You do. The client signs its own mandate with our representative, because the law requires one; everything outside EPR stays with you.
Does the client pay more through a partner?
No. The client pays the published price; your 20% comes out of our fee.
