What EPR Worldwide helps you do
EPR Worldwide is a research reference for producers who need to understand packaging, WEEE, battery and textile EPR obligations — and the published take-back fees that fund them.
Use the country pages and stream hubs to see which obligations apply where, compare published tariffs side by side, and estimate costs in the calculator. Every core figure links back to an official source with a verification date.
Where the law allows competing take-back schemes, fee gaps can be large. We keep watching published tariffs so you can spot cheaper authorised options for the same obligation and cut annual EPR spend.
Why compare packaging EPR fees?
Packaging EPR fees can differ dramatically. Two authorised take-back schemes in the same country often publish very different rates for the same packaging. At high volumes that gap adds up fast: several thousand euros a year, and sometimes €10,000 or more.
That is why EPR fee comparison pays off. EPR Worldwide collects published tariffs and keeps watching the market for you. When a new or cheaper take-back scheme appears that covers the same obligation, we can alert you so you can switch and save.
That is what sets the service apart: not just one-off tables, but ongoing market monitoring on your behalf. Use the country packaging EPR tables and calculator to size the gap, then verify the figure against the scheme’s own source.

EPR savings alerts when cheaper take-back schemes appear
Accounts are coming to EPR Worldwide. Tell us which take-back scheme you already use. If another scheme covers the same packaging EPR obligation at a lower published fee, you get notified.
Example: you already licence packaging with one scheme. Another publishes lower EPR rates for your materials — an email flags the gap so you can switch and cut costs.
Join the waitlist for EPR registration and fee-alert invites.

Updates
Latest packaging EPR fee changes
- Scheme
Take-back scheme figures refreshed on a weekly rotation
We refresh published scheme figures in batches so market price hints stay current. Hints stay labelled until someone verifies them against a primary document.
- Monitoring
Weekly source hashing is live
Official tariff URLs are hashed every Monday. A hash change queues human review — curated core rates are only updated after that check.

What is EPR?+
Extended Producer Responsibility means producers pay for collection and recycling of products they place on the market — packaging, electronics, batteries, textiles and more. Fees usually go to a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
How do I compare EPR fees across countries?+
Open the packaging fee table, switch units (€/t or €/kg) if helpful, and open each country page for the published source. Always quote the official figure — our conversions are illustrative only.
Packaging table →Can I really save by switching Pros?+
Where the law allows competing Pros for the same obligation, published fees often differ. At high volumes that gap can mean thousands of euros a year. Check eligibility and contract terms before switching.
How current are these figures?+
Each country page shows a verified “as of” date for the source we last checked. We keep collecting and refreshing published fees on an ongoing basis. Treat this as a research reference and confirm against the official source before you file or invoice.
Where do the numbers come from?+
We collect and curate published EPR fees for each market. Every country page shows a verification date and links to the official source. Before filing or invoicing, confirm against that source.
Do you cover more than packaging?+
Yes — textiles, batteries, WEEE and additional EPR are listed by country. Packaging has the deepest tariff tables; other EPR grow as published grids appear.
