List of EU Packaging Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) 2026

Companies supplying packaging (including product packaging) must report and contribute financially to the collection and recycling of their packaging waste. Doing so generally requires that you register with a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) in each EU member state where you supply products.

In practice, this means that you pay a fee to a PRO, which in turn collects, disposes of, and recycles your packaging. PROs can also help you to comply with registration, reporting, and other requirements.

In this guide, we list packaging PROs in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and other EU member states.

FAQ

What is a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO)?

A PRO is a company that helps producers fulfil their obligations under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies in different countries. For a fee, a PRO manages packaging waste, including collecting, sorting and recycling it on behalf of producers.

What kind of service do Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) provide?

PROs generally offer services that focus on packaging management on behalf of producers. This involves reusing, collecting, sorting, recovering, and even recycling packaging waste.

Many PROs can also help you to register with the relevant national authorities and fulfil the necessary reporting requirements.

Beyond that, their additional services may differ. For instance, some PROs offer consultation services, and some collect both domestic and commercial packaging. Thus, when approaching a PRO, it is important to identify additional services that they can offer to their members beyond fulfilling take-back obligations.
