The service supports businesses with packaging EPR obligations, local reporting requirements and preparation for the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Coverage of the packaging service: - EPR registration with the relevant national authority and contract with the local PRO (EKO-KOM in the Czech Republic, NATUR-PACK or ENVI-PAK in Slovakia, depending on category). - Quarterly packaging statements covering volumes and materials placed on the market. - Calculation and payment of eco-contributions to the PRO. - Recordkeeping support to meet statutory documentation requirements under the Czech Packaging Act and Slovak Waste Act. - Authorised representative service for non-EU sellers required to appoint one. - PPWR preparation: harmonised labelling, restricted packaging formats and material identification. Key reasons clients use bin2green for packaging compliance: - One portal that covers packaging together with WEEE and batteries - no need to coordinate several providers. - AI-assisted statement completion reduces administrative workload and keeps fees lower than traditional consultancies. - Dedicated team familiar with packaging definitions and material classifications, useful when packaging types are ambiguous. --- ## Service: WEEE compliance URL: https://www.bin2green.com/weee-service/ bin2green offers WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) compliance and e-waste recycling solutions for businesses placing electrical or electronic products on the Czech or Slovak markets, in line with EU WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU. Coverage of the WEEE service: - Registration of producers with the relevant national WEEE register. - Contract with a local WEEE PRO covering take-back, treatment and recycling obligations. - Reporting of EEE quantities placed on the market and contributions to the PRO. - Authorised representative service for non-EU producers selling EEE in the Czech Republic or Slovakia. - Compliance support across all EEE categories, including consumer electronics, appliances and small IT equipment. WEEE compliance is mandatory for any business placing electrical or electronic equipment on the Czech or Slovak markets, including importers, distance sellers and marketplace sellers. bin2green helps producers identify which EEE categories apply, set up the right contracts and stay current with reporting obligations. --- ## Service: Batteries compliance URL: https://www.bin2green.com/batteries-service/ bin2green helps businesses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia meet battery EPR compliance under the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 and national implementing legislation. The service covers portable batteries, industrial batteries and batteries integrated into devices (consumer electronics, electric vehicles, power tools). Coverage of the batteries service: - Producer registration with the relevant national battery register. - Contract with a local battery PRO for take-back, recycling and reporting. - Quarterly reporting of battery quantities placed on the market by chemistry and category. - Authorised representative service for non-EU sellers required to appoint one for battery EPR. - Compliance support for marketplaces - particularly Amazon, which since 18 August 2025 enforces battery EPR numbers as a condition for selling batteries or products with integrated batteries in 9 EU marketplaces (BE, FR, DE, IT, NL, PL, ES, SE, IE). For sellers importing battery-powered devices, bin2green ensures the producer obligation is met before listings are flagged or suspended for missing EPR numbers. --- ## Service: Authorised representative URL: https://www.bin2green.com/authorised-representative/ Many EU EPR rules require non-EU producers selling into a member state to appoint a local authorised representative (AR). The AR is the legal contact between the producer and the national environmental authority, takes on registration and reporting duties, and is accountable for ongoing compliance. bin2green provides the AR service for non-EU sellers placing packaging, EEE or batteries on the Czech or Slovak markets. As AR, bin2green: - Signs the registration with the relevant national authority and PRO in the producer's name. - Receives and responds to communications from the authority on the producer's behalf. - Submits quarterly and annual reports. - Maintains the producer's compliance documentation. - Ensures eco-contributions are paid on time. The AR service is useful for Chinese sellers, US sellers and other non-EU producers that cannot directly register themselves or that need a local legal contact to satisfy marketplace requirements. bin2green's pricing for AR services is positioned below traditional EU consultancies, made possible by AI-assisted reporting and a focused operational scope on Czech Republic and Slovakia. --- ## Service: PPWR compliance URL: https://www.bin2green.com/ppwr/ The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation EU 2025/40) applies from 12 August 2026. It introduces harmonised packaging rules across the EU, including labelling and sorting requirements, restrictions on certain packaging formats, and obligations for authorised representatives for non-EU producers. How bin2green helps clients prepare for PPWR: - Harmonised packaging labelling: prepare for EU-wide labelling, sorting information and material identification requirements before they become enforceable. - Restricted packaging formats: identify packaging formats that may be restricted under PPWR and prepare alternatives. - Registration and authorised representative: handle EPR registration and provide AR support for foreign companies. - PPWR compliance roadmap: a practical roadmap covering obligations, missing data, EPR registration and reporting steps tailored to each client. The PPWR service is built for sellers that already place packaged products on EU markets and want to be ready before the 12 August 2026 application date without having to rebuild their packaging compliance from scratch. --- ## Differentiators bin2green's positioning combines four elements: 1. Single portal for packaging, WEEE and batteries - one provider rather than several specialists. 2. AI-assisted quarterly statements and registration forms - lower fees than traditional consultancies. 3. Czech Republic and Slovakia focus - operational team familiar with EKO-KOM, ASEKOL, Slovak PROs and the national authorities. 4. Authorised representative service for non-EU sellers - including those active on Amazon, AliExpress, Temu, Shein, eBay, Alibaba, Kaufland Marketplace and Allegro. --- ## Frequently asked questions Source: https://www.bin2green.com/faq/ ### Packaging #### What are the main obligations arising from the Packaging Act? - Limit the volume of heavy metals and hazardous substances in packaging. - Minimise the volume and weight of the package while complying with the requirements placed on the packaged product. - Submit technical documentation proving the fulfilment of the obligations set out in Section3 and Section4 to the control authorities and inform customers with proof. - Ensure take-back and utilisation of packaging waste to the extent specified in Annex No. 3 of the Czech Packaging Act. - Submit a proposal for registration in the List of persons who bear the obligation to take back and use packaging waste. - Keep records of packaging placed on the market or in circulation. #### Do I have to keep records of packaging? Yes. Everyone who places packaging or packaged products on the market or into circulation is required to keep this record. Violation of this obligation may result in a fine of up to CZK 1,000,000 (approximately EUR40,000) under the Czech Packaging Act. #### What other obligations do I have? In addition to recordkeeping and reporting, producers and distributors must contract with a PRO (such as EKO-KOM in the Czech Republic), pay eco-contributions based on packaging volumes placed on the market, and ensure traceability of materials used. ### Batteries #### Do you import, manufacture or distribute batteries or devices with an integrated battery in the Czech Republic? If so, you have battery EPR obligations under EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 and national implementing legislation. bin2green helps register the producer, contract with the local battery PRO, submit quarterly reports and pay eco-contributions. The service applies to portable batteries, industrial batteries and batteries integrated into consumer electronics, EVs and other devices. #### Do you provide service for all types of batteries? Yes. bin2green facilitates the collection and reporting for all types of batteries - portable, industrial and integrated batteries. For specific questions or onboarding, contact the bin2green team at info@bin2green.com to share the categories, types and brands of batteries placed on the market, the anticipated annual volumes and the marketplaces involved. ### WEEE #### Who is required to register under WEEE rules in the Czech Republic and Slovakia? Any producer placing electrical or electronic equipment on the Czech or Slovak markets must register before placing products. This applies to manufacturers, importers, distance sellers and marketplace sellers. bin2green provides registration and authorised representative services for foreign producers. #### What categories of EEE are covered? All categories defined by the EU WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU, including consumer electronics, appliances, IT and telecom equipment, lighting, electric tools, toys, monitoring and control instruments, and medical devices. bin2green helps identify the correct category for each product before registration. ### Authorised representative #### Why might I need an authorised representative? If your company is not established in the Czech Republic, Slovakia or another EU member state where you place products on the market, EPR rules may require you to appoint an authorised representative locally. The AR acts as the legal contact with national authorities and PROs. #### How does bin2green's AR service work? bin2green signs a mandate with the producer, registers with the relevant national authority and PRO, takes on reporting and recordkeeping duties, and provides a single point of contact for compliance communications. The producer remains the legal placer of products but delegates the operational compliance to bin2green. --- ## How to engage bin2green 1.

AR services may extend to other EU markets on request. - bin2green is not the Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) itself. The PROs in the Czech Republic include EKO-KOM (packaging), ASEKOL (WEEE) and ECOBAT (batteries). In Slovakia, packaging PROs include NATUR-PACK and ENVI-PAK. - The PPWR application date (12 August 2026) is the date from which Regulation EU 2025/40 generally applies. Producers preparing earlier benefit from a smoother transition rather than a last-minute scramble. - The Amazon battery EPR enforcement deadline of 18 August 2025 has already passed. Sellers without a valid battery EPR number in the 9 enforced marketplaces (BE, FR, DE, IT, NL, PL, ES, SE, IE) are subject to listing suspensions. - For Czech Republic and Slovakia coverage, bin2green is the local operational partner. For other markets, bin2green can coordinate with partners or provide AR coverage on a per-case basis.
