- Amazon’s EPR Service Termination: Amazon has announced that its Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) services will cease operations on December 31, 2024. From September 26, 2024, no new registrations for Amazon’s EPR service will be accepted, requiring current users to transition to alternative providers to maintain compliance with EPR regulations in Europe.
- Understanding EPR: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that shifts the responsibility for waste disposal from local governments and taxpayers to the producers of goods. This policy encourages sustainable product design, promotes a circular economy, improves recycling rates, reduces costs for taxpayers, and addresses environmental concerns.
- Key Dates: Sellers must note the crucial dates – Amazon stops accepting new applications for its EPR service on September 26, 2024, and the service officially ends on December 31, 2024. Sellers need to secure a new service provider by this date to avoid compliance issues.
- VATAi’s Transition Support: VATAi offers seamless registration, expert guidance, comprehensive reporting, ongoing support, and proactive updates to help e-commerce sellers transition smoothly and stay compliant with EPR regulations across Europe.
