To comply with your obligations, sellers and producers have 3 main duties:

  1. Appoint an Authorized Representative:
    It’s mandatory for a seller or producer, who is not based in Austria, to appoint an Authorized Representative as of January 1st, 2023.

    The Authorized Representative Agreement needs to be certified by a notary or by some equivalent institution if allowed in the respective country of the seller/producer.

    The Authorized Representative becomes liable with regards to the sellers/producers extended producer responsibilities and is allowed to sign a contract with a PRO in the name of the seller/producer, see point 2.

    The Austrian Authority accepts Authorized Representative registrations quarterly, the first time as of October 1st, 2022.

  1. Join a PRO:

    Sellers and producers must join a PRO in order to legally take care of their packaging.
