Question Mark
Is your business obligated for International Compliance?
Environmental legislation differs in each country, which means no one size fits all method of compliance exists. For example you could be affected if you:
- have a UK head office and you export products
- have a physical presence in another country
- distance sell via Internet retail or mail order
- plan to expand operations beyond the UK
- mark the Green Dot on your packaging

Does your website offer international shipping? Does your business export? Are you complying with the legal environmental regulations in each market?
It is essential to establish where your business has obligations. These can vary from country to country depending on your international commercial activity. Research must be undertaken on a case by case basis.
If you find that your business needs to comply with environmental legislation / Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regimes overseas then you will need to:
- register with the relevant schemes/ authorities
- submit data within the required time frames
- make a financial contribution to the recovery and or recycling of materials in certain countries
- meet other obligations, such as informing customers of their responsibility not to discard recyclable products with general waste
