Legal framework for packaging EPR in Slovenia

Slovenia’s packaging rules are set under the Decree on Packaging and Packaging Waste (Uredba o embalaži in odpadni embalaži), which:

• applies to all packaging materials placed on the Slovenian market, and
• explicitly establishes that packaging is subject to EPR.

Who must comply?

In practice, packaging EPR obligations apply to businesses that first place packaging or packaged products on the Slovenian market, including (commonly):

• 🏭 Packers/fillers placing goods on the market in packaging,
• 🚢 Importers/acquirers of packaged goods or empty packaging,
• 🛍️ Distance sellers supplying packaged goods directly to end users in Slovenia.

Slovenia also recognizes a foreign company selling remotely into Slovenia and requires an authorised representative (pooblaščeni zastopnik) established in Slovenia to perform certain obligations on its behalf.

Registration: Packaging producer register

📝 Register on time

A business must complete registration in the producer register – packaging within 30 days of starting activities related to packaging. For a foreign company, registration is performed by its authorised representative.

🔄 Keep details current

Any change in activities, contact details, or the method of meeting EPR obligations must be reported, and deregistration must be handled when activities stop (typically within 30 days of the change).

Recordkeeping: what data you must track

📚 Maintain an annual packaging record (by material)

Producers must keep an annual record of packaging placed on the Slovenian market, including mass by material (e.g., paper/cardboard, plastic, wood, ferrous metals, aluminium, glass, and other).

🧩 Composite / multi-material packaging rules

Records must also address composite and multi-material packaging, allocating weights by material (with specific handling where a material is below a threshold share).

🌍 Foreign companies

Where the producer is a foreign company, the authorised representative keeps the required record.

Reporting: frequency, channel, and deadlines

🗓️ Quarterly reporting is the standard

Packaging placed on the market must be reported four times per year.

Deadlines (by reporting quarter):

• Oct–Dec → by 30 January (following year)
• Jan–Mar → by 30 April
• Apr–Jun → by 30 July
• Jul–Sep → by 30 October

💻 Where reporting happens

Reporting is supported electronically (including via IS-Odpadki as referenced by the competent authority).

🤝 Collective vs individual reporting

• If you meet EPR obligations together with other producers, you provide data to your chosen packaging waste management company, which reports onward.
• If you meet obligations individually, you report the data yourself.

What must be included in a report?

Reports are built from your records and typically include:

• reporting period (quarter/year),
• company identification details,
• packaging mass (kg) by material, including service and composite packaging as applicable,
• your EPR fulfilment method (individual vs collective),
• and, if collective, the details of the packaging waste management company.

🔒 Data confidentiality

The regulation also specifies that producer-specific packaging mass data is not public, with controlled access (producer, authorised representative for the foreign company, relevant packaging waste management company, and authorities).

Fees and operational impact (what businesses feel day-to-day)

In collective compliance models, the submitted packaging data is used as the basis for calculating the costs of packaging waste management services (often referred to as packaging fees).

Common risk points and penalties

⚠️ Typical risk triggers

• missing the 30-day registration/update window,
• incomplete packaging material mapping (especially composites),
• late or inconsistent quarterly reporting,
• lack of supporting evidence for weights and classifications.

💶 Penalties can apply

The Decree includes offence provisions; for example, a fine of €4,000 can apply in certain cases (including failure to provide prescribed data/changes), and where the producer is a foreign company, penalties can apply to the authorised representative in defined scenarios.
