Suppliers who sell articles to end consumers with delivery addresses in Germany are affected by the renewal of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG) in July 2022 as part of their extended producer responsibility.
Due to a change in the Packaging Act, we as marketplace operators have the obligation to check all vendors with regard to their producer responsibility for packaging since July 2022.
The following requirements must be met by you:
- Licensing of your packaging with a dual system
- Registration in the packaging register LUCID
- Data reporting (name of the dual system and licensed packaging quantities) to LUCID
This is the way you can store your LUCID registration number and the system participation confirmation of your dual system in the shop backend - this is mandatory for all traders:
LUCID registration number: Click Rechtliche Nachweise (legal evidence) within your settings. Please enter your LUCID registration number in the corresponding field and then click on "Angaben speichern" (save details). Dropshipping vendors have to enter all LUCID registration numbers of their suppliers in the same place .
System participation confirmation: You can also upload the system participation confirmation in the settings under Rechtliche Nachweise (legal evidence). Please note that the confirmation of your system operator has to be uploaded once a year. Dropshipping merchants have to upload the system participation confirmations of their suppliers in the same place.
