Do I need to register for EPR in every EU country I sell to?

📋 Direct Answer
Yes, EPR registration is country-specific. You must register in every EU country where you place packaged goods on the market. There is no EU-wide single registration — each country has its own EPR scheme. Key countries with mandatory packaging EPR: Germany (LUCID), France (CITEO), Italy (CONAI), Spain (SIGFITO), Poland (BDO), Austria, Belgium, Netherlands. Cost: €50-300/year per country.
