the amendment to the Austrian Battery Ordinance came into force on July 8, 2021. This serves to implement the EU battery directive into national law. You can find out what changes there are and what you need to pay attention to in our current blog post.
Also this month we offer you free information on the latest topics via webinars. The German-language webinar on the amended German Packaging Act on August 17th is already fully booked and we are currently planning a follow-up appointment. There are still some places in our English webinar "Take-Back & Recycling obligations in international e-commerce" on August 25th. You can find information in this newsletter and on our website.
We often receive inquiries regarding the take-back obligations of the Packaging Act in Germany. In today's newsletter you will receive an overview of the most frequently asked questions and the most important information on the take-back obligation for packaging in Germany.
Should you still have any questions, our experts are at your disposal at any time. We look forward to your feedback!
Who is subject to the take-back obligation for packaging in Germany? What does the take-back obligation include and what happens if my company violates these provisions? We answer these and other questions in our current blog. Contact us if you have further questions.
On Wednesday, August 25th from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (C.E.T.), our experts Sven Düerkop and Anja Lange will discuss the legal requirements for electrical and electronic devices (WEEE), packaging and batteries within the EU.
In this Webinar, we will also take a closer look at the reasons behind the laws, the goals that the laws aim to achieve, the consequences for non-compliance and how you can ensure full compliance while keeping your costs and time efforts at a minimum.
There are environmental guidelines in every EU country and every online trader is affected, because according to the waste laws, they must ensure the proper disposal for the products that they put on the market (electronics, packaging and batteries).
Whoever puts the products into circulation, is required to have the necessary registrations and ensure the logistics and disposal for their products, in each country. However, the registrations, collection, disposal and recycling requirements vary greatly in each country, making compliance complex and inconsistent.
Since July 8, 2021 there are some innovations in the Austrian Battery Ordinance. The amendment makes it a duty to appoint an authorized representative for foreign manufacturers/distributors, but also contains other important adjustments. The main goal is to implement the EU Battery Directive into national law. This is similar to the changes that were applied earlier to the electrical equipment ordinance.
To ensure that you continue to receive an informative and appealing newsletter in the future, we look forward to your feedback. Please feel free to send me an email with your comments and suggestions for improvement.
