Regulatory Tracking
Landbell Group continuously invests in its regulatory tracking service for WEEE, batteries and packaging.
The following regions are covered with the global regulatory tracking service: Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as North America.
Existing, as well as upcoming EPR-type legislation for EEE, batteries and packaging, is analyzed for the obligations surrounding product design, consumer information, take-back, as well as related registration and reporting.
This enables us to support manufacturers and distributors on their journey, from understanding the growing complexity of EPR obligations to managing the required operational compliance solutions via our numerous PROs and voluntary take-back solutions for WEEE, batteries, and packaging.
This makes us a strong and knowledgeable partner both locally and globally.
Detailed reports for the
information you need
Depending on your specific needs, you can choose from different tracking products that help you review national EPR obligations for WEEE, batteries, and packaging across the world. You can choose whether to get:
- A quick overview: short country reports summarizing existing national EPR.
- All of the details: in-depth analyses of the obligations either as a country report or via our Landbell Group Knowledge Database.
- A list of legal acts applicable in the field of EPR in a country.
Reports can be ordered as one-time reports or subscriptions with regular updates, while a license to our Landbell Group Knowledge Database provides access to the latest information at any point in time.
All products enable you to conclude the required compliance actions.
The KDB and Sagis
What are the benefits?
- No more internal research is necessary for manufacturers and distributors = saving time and resources
- Enabling manufacturers and distributors to understand their obligations (“translating the laws”)
- Two similar services presenting content in two ways for different user groups.
The At-a-Glance Report
The At-a-Glance report provides a quick overview of the essential legal obligations you must comply with in a specific country for WEEE, batteries or packaging.
The report presents the information in an easy-to-understand Q&A format by answering core producer questions.
The first part of the report covers the existing requirements and relevant definitions. The second part lists the regulatory requirements at each stage of the product life cycle, including design, information to users, specifics for different sales models, and take-back obligations.
The In-Depth Report
The all-embracing In-Depth report provides information on the obligations resulting from the existing EPR legislation for WEEE, batteries, or packaging in a specific country.
It includes the At-a-Glance report as an introduction, with an executive summary covering key findings and takeaways.
The report also includes detailed explanations, ranging from the general description of the market to the current legal framework, the essential compliance requirements (e.g., design, information, take-back), and available compliance options.
The Legal Register Report
This report lists and provides short summaries of the applicable pieces of legislation for selected countries and EPR waste streams.
It comes in the form of a legal register — a requirement of certified environmental management systems.
The Plastic Tax Report
The emerging plastic tax legislation, in addition to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations, brings more compliance obligations.
We offer the plastic tax report to facilitate the understanding of the new regulations. The report will guide you through the new legal requirements which arise from the plastic tax legislation (e.g., registration, reporting, payment procedure, required certifications, information obligation, etc.) in a simple and clear manner.
Currently, the reports are available for Italy, Spain and the UK.
The Packaging Marking Report
The packaging marking report explains the variety of mandatory and voluntary packaging markings (i.e., material, sorting, and deposit markings) to be applied in the EU and EFTA countries. Its table format is clear and user-friendly.
The report not only describes the details of how and where the marking must be applied, but it also contains the actual examples of the markings.
The Matrix Report
Comparative list of EPR obligations in selected countries.
Provides comparisons of specific obligations and topics across countries by waste stream.
Can specify comparisons between enforced, published and draft content.
The Customized Report
Depending on your individual needs, we also offer Customized reports. Unlike the ready-made At-a-Glance and In-Depth reports, the Customized report is adapted and fitted to your specific needs.
For example, it can focus on specific requirements like registration, reporting, design, and/or consumer information. Or it can provide a comparative list of EPR obligations in selected countries.
Also, on request, our team of experienced experts will be more than happy to do the additional research into the countries and requirements that you need.
