When switching take-back schemes can cut EPR fees
How to spot published fee gaps where the law allows competing Pros.
In this FAQ
In competitive markets, two authorised Pros can publish very different rates for the same packaging mix. At high volumes that gap can reach several thousand euros a year.
Compare only schemes that cover the same legal obligation and material scope. Check contract notice periods, membership rules and whether a public tariff actually applies to your volumes.
Use country pages and the Pros directory to list candidates, run the calculator for a rough delta, and verify against each scheme’s source before you switch.
