International Compliance

Navigating the complexity of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) overseas

Selling products overseas? You may be legally required to comply with environmental regulations in each country, from packaging and electronics to batteries and textiles.

At Beyondly, we help you understand, manage, and meet your global Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations, so you can grow confidently across markets without the complexity.

International Compliance is complex, time-consuming, and often a barrier to your business’s growth. Companies frequently only realise the impact of non-compliance when it's too late. If your business is being impacted by the hurdles of international compliance, or you’re looking to get to grips with the regulations before your business goes global, Beyondly are here to help.

Regulations vary from country to country, so it's essential to understand how Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) affects your business in each market. Factors such as volume and turnover thresholds, your route to market, the types of products and packaging you use, and the nature of your customer base can all influence how the regulations apply to you.

As a starting point, if you answer yes to any of the questions below, you should consider assessing your obligations:

  • Does your organisation sell or ship directly to customers or business end users based overseas?
  • Does your organisation place electronics, batteries, packaging, or textiles on the market?
  • Does your organisation manufacture electronics, batteries, packaging, or textiles?
  • Does your organisation import electronics, batteries, packaging, or textiles?
  • Does your organisation sell electronics, batteries, packaging, or textiles under your own brand?
  • Does your organisation own or operate an online marketplace?
  • Do you sell on Amazon, eBay, or marketplaces with EPR enforcement?

Packaging 

Packaging EPR is expanding globally, with regulations in place across most continents. However, rules differ widely by country, covering obligations, reporting, fees, and materials, requiring tailored compliance strategies for each market.

Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment

The EU WEEE Directive has shaped global EPR for electronics, but national implementations vary. Each EU Member State adapts the directive differently, affecting categories, registration, reporting, and fees.

Batteries 

The new EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) sets a global benchmark, covering the full battery lifecycle with strict sustainability and safety standards. Yet, national-level implementation still leads to differences in compliance details.

Textiles

The EU is leading on Textile EPR, requiring separate textile waste collection by 2025 and introducing mandatory EPR schemes. New regulations like ESPR and the Circular Textiles Strategy are reshaping product design and traceability.
