Assistance with LUCID and CITEO Registration

Registration with LUCID and CITEO to fulfill EPR obligations for sales in German and French markets

Assistance with EPR Registration (LUCID/CITEO)

EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is a concept under which manufacturers and importers of products are responsible for managing their products and packaging at every stage of their lifecycle, including sale, recycling, and disposal after use. The LUCID system provides the necessary registration mechanism to comply with this extended producer responsibility in Germany. To fulfill EPR obligations when selling goods in the German market, registration in the LUCID system is required. Additionally, registration with a dual provider is also necessary. They prepare annual utilization reports and invoice for packaging disposal annually. When filling out the registration form, you need to provide your bank IBAN, the account holder’s name, and an approximate quantity of packaging used within a year. After completing the registration process, the dual provider will send you an invoice to the email address you have provided.

CITEO is a French organization specializing in waste management and promoting sustainable resource use. It is the national operator in France, handling the collection, recycling, and disposal of packaging waste. CITEO operates in accordance with the principles of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), obliging manufacturers and importers of packaged goods to take responsibility for managing their products and packaging after use. Similarly, to fulfill EPR obligations when selling goods in the French market, registration with the CITEO system is mandatory.
