Definition
The German Packaging Act (VerpackG) obliges anyone placing packaging on the German market to register with the LUCID register and participate in a dual system (e.g. Green Dot).
Why it matters
For Amazon sellers, one of the most important EPR obligations in Germany. Amazon actively checks LUCID numbers. Without registration, a distribution ban may be imposed.
What you need to do
Three steps: 1. LUCID registration at ZSVR. 2. Licence with a dual system. 3. Annual quantity reporting and reconciliation.
