Scope and contribution

Representation and system participation, explained.

What the starting price buys

Registration assistance and year-end reporting support, with packaging representative service and system participation in the agreed scope. The €49 starting package includes €10 of recycling contribution.

For the normal stated scope, select this supported packaging plan in the Service Catalog and continue through the existing Cart. You can ask about your materials or existing registration in Chat first. Expert follow-up is optional for unusual materials, larger volumes or historical problems.

Materials, quantity and the covered period

An approximate example for the included recycling contribution is 10 kg of cardboard packaging plus 1 kg of plastic packaging. It is an illustration, not a guaranteed weight allowance, an official flat tariff or cover for every material. The applicable material mix and quantities are stated in the service terms.

Tell us the packaging materials, quantities and period you need covered. The service agreement identifies the applicable scheme, covered period and reporting scope. Extra quantities, special materials and historical corrections are explained separately before extra work proceeds. The starting offer does not promise unlimited packaging, every material or a fixed renewal price.

LUCID, system participation and the representative role.

LUCID registration is free of charge. Our fee pays for the stated support, representation and system participation. Businesses based abroad without a German branch that sell empty packaging or packaged products directly to end users in Germany have been required to appoint a packaging EPR representative since 12 August 2026. The producer must still complete and maintain its own LUCID registration.

The packaging representative is appointed through the applicable agreement and LUCID procedure. Buying a package alone does not complete that appointment. Packaging representation is separate from a product EU authorised representative service, including the €95 EAR programme.

Your contracting provider, representative where applicable, responsibilities and covered periods are identified in your service documents. We can help you understand the required next steps; processing dates and marketplace acceptance depend on the relevant organisation and requirements.

Before you decide

Germany packaging questions.

What does the €49 starting package include?

Registration assistance and year-end reporting support, with packaging representative service and system participation in the agreed scope. The €49 starting package includes €10 of recycling contribution.

Is €49 a LUCID government registration charge?

No. LUCID registration is free. The €49 package pays for the stated support, packaging representation and system participation, including €10 of recycling contribution.

Does the example guarantee 10 kg of cardboard and 1 kg of plastic?

An approximate example for the included recycling contribution is 10 kg of cardboard packaging plus 1 kg of plastic packaging. It is an illustration, not a guaranteed weight allowance, an official flat tariff or cover for every material. The applicable material mix and quantities are stated in the service terms.

How are the service period and any extra work handled?

Tell us the packaging materials, quantities and period you need covered. The service agreement identifies the applicable scheme, covered period and reporting scope. Extra quantities, special materials and historical corrections are explained separately before extra work proceeds. The starting offer does not promise unlimited packaging, every material or a fixed renewal price.

Can you register in LUCID instead of the producer?

LUCID registration is free of charge. Our fee pays for the stated support, representation and system participation. Businesses based abroad without a German branch that sell empty packaging or packaged products directly to end users in Germany have been required to appoint a packaging EPR representative since 12 August 2026. The producer must still complete and maintain its own LUCID registration.

Does this replace a product EU authorised representative?

The packaging representative is appointed through the applicable agreement and LUCID procedure. Buying a package alone does not complete that appointment. Packaging representation is separate from a product EU authorised representative service, including the €95 EAR programme.

Can I use an existing registration?

Tell us your existing arrangement and the period already covered. We can discuss a handover and future reporting; historical omissions and corrections are assessed separately. Buying a new package does not automatically cancel a previous contract or correct old declarations.

How can I buy or ask for help?

For the normal stated scope, select this supported packaging plan in the Service Catalog and continue through the existing Cart. You can ask about your materials or existing registration in Chat first. Expert follow-up is optional for unusual materials, larger volumes or historical problems.

Can I share records for an unusual issue?

Describe the packaging records or notice you already have. You may request expert follow-up and agree a suitable way to share documents with the team.
