The Extended Producer Responsibility Register (EPRR) is an electronic database containing the data on producers, products, and quantities of products placed on the market pursuant to the Waste Management Act, the Ordinance on packaging and packaging waste, single-use plastics, and fishing gear containing plastic and the Ordinance on the management of special waste categories in the system of the Fund.
The
obligation to register with the EPRR and pay the charge applies to:
- beverage and milk packaging with a volume of 0.2 l to 3 l
- packaging in which various products are packaged
- single-use plastic products (e.g. bags, food and beverage containers and wrappers, wet wipes, balloons, etc.)
- tobacco products with a filter and filters placed on the market for use in combination with tobacco products
- fishing gear containing plastic
- electrical and electronic appliances and equipment
- tyres
- vehicles
- lubricating oils
- batteries and accumulators.
Instead of the method of registering that was in use so far by post or e-mail, from
the beginning of 2025, the registration will be digital, in the Extended
Producer Responsibility Register (EPRR).
All persons liable to payment - both existing and new ones, are obliged to register
with the EPRR during January 2025.
Please note that for the quantities of products placed on the market of the Republic
of Croatia in January 2025, the obligation to submit data in February will be possible
only through the EPRR form.
Access to the form will be provided only to authorised users through the National
Identification and Authentication System (NIAS) - (https://nias.gov.hr/), which will require credentials
of a minimum significant level of security
