EPR Registration Guide: Navigating Germany, France, and Poland

If you sell products in the EU, you are responsible for the packaging waste. Here is how to register for EPR in the three largest markets.

Germany: LUCID (VerpackG)

Any commercial seller sending packaged goods to Germany must register with the **ZSVR LUCID** database. **Action Item:** Sign up at the [LUCID portal](https://www.verpackungsregister.org/) and pay your recycling fee to a "Dual System" partner like Interseroh or Der Grüne Punkt.

France: ADEME & The Triman Logo

France is strict about physical labeling. You must obtain an **IDU (Identifiant Unique)** from an eco-organization like CITEO. **Action Item:** Ensure the Triman logo is printed on your boxes. We can add this to your artwork during the dieline stage.

Poland: BDO System

Poland's **BDO (Waste Database)** registration is essential for distributors and e-commerce players. **Action Item:** Register your company in the BDO system. Failure to do so can lead to heavy fines at the border.
