General questions about EPR compliance in Romania
  • Who needs an Authorized Representative in Romania?
    Foreign companies (EU and non-EU) selling packaged goods, batteries, or electrical and electronic equipment in Romania are generally required to appoint a local Authorized Representative. For packaging, this is already a requirement under Romanian law today (OUG 92/2021, Art. 12(12)-(13)), not only from the EU's PPWR deadline of 12 August 2026.
  • Which EPR flows does EPR Romania cover?
    We cover the three main obligations for producers selling in Romania: Packaging (PPWR), Batteries, and Electrical & Electronic Equipment (EEE/WEEE).
  • What does the registration process involve?
    We assess your obligations, then register you the way Romanian law currently requires. For Packaging, registration happens simply by filing your first monthly declaration with AFM (Administrația Fondului pentru Mediu) — there is no separate "registration number"; AFM confirmed this to us directly in September 2026, and publishes the official list of registered operators under Art. 16(3) of Law 249/2015. For Batteries and WEEE, registration goes through the relevant ANPM registers, and we also arrange your contract with an OIREP/PRO organization where relevant. We track the upcoming EU-wide PPWR packaging register (Art. 44) — not yet operational, since the European Commission's implementing act defining its format is still pending — and will register you there as soon as it launches.
  • Do you handle reporting to AFM?
    Yes. We prepare and submit your periodic declarations to the Administrația Fondului pentru Mediu (AFM) and manage your ongoing recurring obligations.
