New digital service offers simplified PPWR and EPR compliance across Europe | 14-06-2026 |
With the increasing complexity of regulatory requirements for packaging in Europe, many companies face the challenge of efficiently managing their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations. Lizenzero, a trademark brand within the German-based Interzero Group providing a range of environmental services, aims to set a new standard in this area by offering a central dashboard for the efficient management for up to 31 countries. A free compliance check, a cost estimate, and – if necessary – an integrated authorised representative service make the solution particularly simple and practical, says the company.
The regulatory requirements for packaging in Europe are becoming more complex – from the PPWR to the authorised representative obligation. “Many companies are simply losing track,“ says Claudia Wegener, CIO of Interzero. “This platform offers a comprehensive solution that tracks deadlines, makes reporting obligations more transparent and maps EU-wide compliance in one place.”
It has developed the digital platform to offer a central solution for packaging compliance in the EU member states plus UK, Norway, Serbia and Switzerland. This platform enables companies, which previously had to work with fragmented national compliance systems, to simplify and centralise their processes, it claims. The service streamlines the three essential pillars of EPR by managing national registration, contracting with local EPR systems and ongoing volume reporting all in one place.
The range of features aims to simplify the compliance process. This includes a free obligation check, allowing companies to verify if they are subject to packaging obligations in their shipping countries. An integrated calculation tool provides a cost pre-calculation based on reported packaging volumes.
IT has also integrated an Authorised Representative (AR) service directly into the digital workflow wherever needed, according to current PPWR regulations, bridging the legal gap for non-resident businesses who will be required to appoint a local legal representative. By consolidating these requirements into a single dashboard, the company says the platform removes the barriers to compliant European market entry. It is available in 9 languages and is complemented by a team that provides support for complex questions.
For businesses, using the platform not only means a reduction in bureaucratic tasks but also an increase in competitiveness, it believes. Those who consistently manage their packaging obligations can act more quickly in new markets, reduce risks and strengthen their own supply chain. The platform monitors legal changes in all 31 countries offered and supports compliance in a ‘one stop shop’. This allows companies to react to regulatory changes more quickly and efficiently.
“It offers a central dashboard, automatic reminders for deadlines and reporting obligations, and clear, transparent EU-wide functionality, all in one place. We want to set a new standard for how companies can easily fulfil their EPR obligations in Europe,” added Wegener
With the PPWR set to harmonize and tighten regulations from 2026 onwards, proactive compliance is evolving from a legal necessity into a strategic competitive advantage , says Interzero.
