What is included in the AuthoriseMe service?
The AuthoriseMe service consists of two main components: the annual Service Fee and the annual Authorised Representative Fee.
The Service Fee covers the ongoing administrative work related to the EPR setup and management. This can include customer support, coordination, registrations, communication with competent authorities, reporting to the relevant authorities and, where possible and required, arranging the setup with the relevant Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO).
The separate Authorised Representative Fee covers our role, responsibility and associated liability as your local Authorised Representative in the relevant country.
Please note that some activities are not included in the standard service. In particular, ongoing reporting directly to the PRO is currently the customer's responsibility. External costs such as PRO licensing fees, authority fees, notarisation or apostille costs and, where required, verification or audit costs are also charged separately.
These answers give general orientation on EPR and Authorised Representative requirements. They are not a binding legal assessment of an individual business model. National implementation and individual supply chains differ; the setup that applies to you is confirmed during onboarding.
