European Union · EPR
Bulgaria applies packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Any business placing packaged goods on the Bulgaria market is treated as a producer and must register with the national scheme (Ecopack) and report packaging through a producer responsibility organisation (Ecopack).
Obligations generally apply from the first packaging placed on the Bulgaria market. Confirm the exact registration threshold and de-minimis rules with the national authority before you sell.
Packaging placed on the market is typically declared annually. Track every EU and UK reporting deadline in the free deadline calendar.
