Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that holds producers accountable for the entire life cycle of the commodities they put on the market, from the beginning of commodity design to the end of the commodity's life cycle (including waste collection and disposal). According to the provisions of the extended producer responsibility regulations, the responsible subject must reduce the impact of its commodities on the environment during the entire commodity life cycle.

Recently, a group of sellers have stopped selling their products in the whole store because their products do not meet the requirements of the German packaging law. Why does Amazon want to stop selling the seller's products in the whole store?
From July 1, 2022, if you sell products in Germany with packaging classification, including primary packaging (ie product packaging) and secondary packaging (ie delivery packaging), Amazon will be obliged to suspend everyone under this EPR product classification Non-compliant products posted. Once your item is subject to enforcement, you will receive a standard notification to let you know that there is a problem with the item.
