[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”161958″]Extended producer responsibility (EPR)<\/strong> is increasingly being used in Europe as a tool to promote sustainability and reduce waste. Slovenia has also implemented clear rules that require manufacturers and distributors of products to pay for the take-back and disposal of their products. Foreign companies not based in Slovenia in particular must ensure that they comply with these requirements in order to avoid severe penalties. Find the important information about EPR obligations in Slovenia:<\/p>\n

General information about the EPR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

EPR obligations in Slovenia include, among others, registration in a national system<\/strong> , reporting on quantities placed on the market and paying fees to finance the take-back systems. This applies to packaging, electronic devices and batteries. Foreign companies<\/strong> that sell products in Slovenia to end consumers via mail order also bear full responsibility and must appoint a local authorised representative to comply with their obligations. Violation of these regulations can have significant financial and legal consequences. <\/p>\n

Penalties for non-compliance with EPR obligations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Companies that fail to comply with their EPR obligations in Slovenia face severe penalties. In addition to fines<\/strong> of up to \u20ac4,000, authorities can also impose sales bans<\/strong> , which have a serious impact on business activities. In addition, reputational damage can occur, which has a negative impact on market position. <\/p>\n
