🇳🇱 The Netherlands EPR

EPR Registration with Authority

Registration with Verpact is typically the operational requirement rather than a direct ILT registration.

EPR Scheme / PRO

Single PRO

Are PROs legally required to have a not-for-profit objective?

Not applicable

Authorised Representative

From 12 August 2026, the PPWR authorised-representative-for-EPR requirement applies to cross-border producers that must fulfil Dutch EPR obligations.

AR applicable date

12-Aug-26

Packaging Covered

  • Household packaging (B2C)

  • Industrial packaging (B2B)

De-minimis Threshold

General tax-free / contribution-free threshold: 50,000 kg of packaging per calendar year. The threshold remains in place for 2026. Defined logistics aids are excluded when determining the threshold. The threshold does NOT apply to deposit packaging or in-scope SUP packaging: registration/declaration obligations arise from the first relevant deposit or SUP packaging unit.

Small Producer / SME Rules

A producer below 50,000 kg generally does not have to register with Verpact, but it must maintain records demonstrating that it stays below the threshold. Deposit packaging and SUP packaging remain exceptions.
