Lovat EPR registration is the platform for getting your EPR number quickly if you sell packaged goods, electronics, or batteries in the EU. More than 1,000 businesses use it to stay compliant in more than one country without having to hire a separate compliance team.

Lovat EPR Registration

Under Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, every business that sells goods in the EU must register. For most sellers, the process is their first real experience with European environmental law. There are rules that vary by country, multiple waste streams, annual deadlines, and the constant threat of having their listings taken down on Amazon or other marketplaces. Lovat EPR registration is there to make things easier for you.

The Lovat Compliance team (vatcompliance.co) built Lovat, a compliance platform. The main idea behind it is simple: instead of having to deal with different registrations, portals, and deadlines for each EU country, you can do everything from one dashboard.One account for all streams, all markets, and all types of packaging, WEEE, and batteries.

Who Actually Needs EPR Reporting Through Lovat

The EU’s definition of a producer is very broad on purpose. If you are the first person to sell a product in a certain EU country, whether you make it, import it, or just sell it through an online marketplace, you are a producer in the eyes of the law. This is true for both a one-person Shopify store that ships 50 units a month and a multinational company that ships to 15 countries.

That is why EPR reporting through Lovat covers the full spectrum — from solo Amazon sellers to mid-size importers managing five EU markets at once

The three main EPR categories that have an effect on most sellers are:

• Packaging
• any secondary or transport packaging sent to an EU customer falls under this obligation.
•  Subscriptions for packaging registration with Lovat start from €190 per year.

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)

•  laptops, chargers, headphones,kitchen appliances, any battery-powered or plug-in product.

Batteries

•  whether standalone or built into a device, batteries now require separate EPRregistration in each EU country, with marketplace enforcement from August 2025 onwards.

Textiles and furniture

• selected markets, particularly France, have extended EPR scopescovering these categories.

Toys and sports goods

• again primarily France, but the list of covered streams isexpanding year on year.

Single-use plastics

• — covered in Germany under the Single-Use Plastics Fund Act andincreasingly in other member states.

Not registering is not a risk that could happen. In some EU countries, fines can be as high as €200,000.Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden are some of the markets that actively suspend marketplace listings when they can’t confirm a valid EPR number.

What EPR Reporting with Lovat Actually Looks Like

In every country, the EPR registration and reporting process has six simple steps: register with the national authority, join a local Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO), report the amounts you put on the market, pay the eco-fees based on those amounts, keep records, and renew every year. Do this for every country and every type of waste that you are responsible for.

Lovat EPR reporting

Lovat EPR reporting combines all of this into one process. The platform keeps track of your compliance profile after you sign up. This includes what you sell, where you sell it, and which categories apply. It then uses this information to make your reports automatically. The Lovat app connects directly to your Amazon store, reads your packaging data, fills out the report for you, and sends it to you for one click of approval. Once you confirm it, the report is sent through the Lovat platform without you having to go to a government site.

The Lovat dashboard also shows you the EPR deadlines for each country that is currently active. Most reporting cycles happen once a year, usually between January and August, depending on the country. However, electronics and battery sellers who sell a lot may have to report every three months. Users get automated reminders well before each deadline, so they don’t have to worry about missing a filing date and getting a fine.

It is said that 95% of companies that use Lovat for EPR reporting follow the rules.Users save about eight hours a month on EPR paperwork compared to doing it by hand, and about €800 a year in total compliance costs.

How the EPR Lovat Platform Is Set Up

It helps to know how EPR Lovat works on a technical level to understand why it is better for businesses with obligations in more than one country than manual approaches that work one country at a time.

Centralised registration management

Centralized registration management lets you see all of your active registrations, their status, registration numbers, and renewal dates in one place. You can easily find your WEEE number for a German marketplace or your packaging EPR certificate for France right under your account, instead of having to search through old emails.

Automated data preparation

Automated data preparation—EPR reporting needs exact quantity data, such as how much packaging (by material type and weight) or how many electronic units you sold in a certain country during the reporting period. Lovat gets this information from connected sales channels, which cuts down on the need for manual entry and the chance of making mistakes that need to be reported.

Expert support layer

The EPR Lovat support model is what separates it from purely self-serve tools — a human reviews your case before the first filing goes out.

Layer of expert support—registration isn’t just self-service. The Lovat team takes care of onboarding, checking documents, and filing for the client. Their compliance specialists will give you direct help if your product is in an unusual category or your business has a complicated supply chain. Businesses that need more than the usual workflow advice can get extended producer responsibility consultation.

For the packaging category, prices start at €190 (net) per year, and for other categories like WEEE and batteries, they start at €250 (net) per year. For businesses that work in more than one country and category, bundled pricing is available.
