PRO/SCRAP registration: the essentials before getting started

Registering with a PRO/SCRAP is the step that enables EPR/RAP compliance: registration, declarations/reporting, and contributions based on what you place on the market. On this page, we explain the process in practical terms: what to prepare, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to maintain compliance once activated.

PRO/SCRAP registration steps and what the service includes

Registration and onboarding with the PRO/SCRAP

We guide you through registration and initial setup: responsible entity, brands, countries, categories, and declaration calendar to activate compliance without bottlenecks.

First declaration and periodic reporting

We prepare and validate your declarations — units/kg by category, country, and channel — to comply with the frequency and format required by each scheme.

Contributions and ongoing management

Control of contributions, catalogue changes, new countries/channels, and corrections. Keep compliance stable throughout the year.

Consumer messaging and return operations

We help you define what to communicate and where: delivery/collection options, instructions, and minimum content to reduce incidents and improve collection.

Controls, evidence, and audit

Prepare a defensible system: ERP traceability, evidence by period, and reviews to respond to scheme controls or audits.

What you need to prepare to register

To register and report without errors, you usually need to have the following ready:

  • Catalogue — SKUs/products — mapped to EPR categories
  • Weight per item, or consistent conversion rules
  • Sales by country and channel — B2B/B2C, online, marketplace — by period
  • Entity that “places the product on the market” — very important for groups/subsidiaries
  • Evidence: ERP exports / invoicing / shipments for traceability

In addition, it is necessary to take into account various requirements and obligations related to:

  • Scattered data — ERP + marketplace + warehouses + returns
  • Different rules by country — reporting formats and calendars
  • Recurring operational workload — it is not “one-off”; it is ongoing.

Your partner for PRO/SCRAP registration and ongoing compliance

We help you move from “I know it applies to me” to “I am registered and reporting correctly”, with a practical approach: data → registration → first declaration → ongoing operation.


Our goal is to ensure that compliance does not depend on improvisation: we define a data model that can be replicated by country and a stable process for reporting and evidence.

PRO/SCRAP registration in 5 steps

This is the typical path to activate EPR/RAP compliance in an orderly way:

  1. Define scope: countries, channels, categories, and brands included

  2. Prepare data: catalogue + weights + sales, units/kg, by period

  3. Registration/membership: registration with the scheme and reporting setup

  4. First declaration: upload, validation, and corrections until acceptance

  5. Ongoing compliance: recurring calendar, catalogue changes, and audit evidence

If you sell in several countries or marketplaces, “step 2” — data — is the one that saves the most time later.
