SECTORS

EPR/RAP applies across the board, but it is not experienced in the same way in every sector and channel. On this page, we group the most common scenarios so you can quickly identify what applies to you, what data you need, and which steps you should prioritise.

Fashion

Fashion brands — B2C and B2B: managing volumes by collection, returns, and multi-channel sales, including store, online, and marketplace.

Footwear

Footwear: greater complexity due to categories and materials. It is essential to have well-defined weights and composition in order to declare and report without errors.

Home textiles

Home textiles — bedding, bathroom textiles, etc.: high-volume references and variations by format and sales channel, including retail and online.

• Incomplete data — weights, categories, sales by country/channel
• Multi-channel and returns — online/retail/marketplace
• Country differences — reporting formats and calendars

• Fashion: fast catalogue changes and returns
• Footwear: material mix and weights
• Home textiles: formats/volumes and large references
• Non-EU eCommerce: producer and reference country
• Marketplaces: allocation of responsibilities and channel traceability

The timeline and level of requirements vary by country. If you operate in more than one market, it is advisable to set up a common data model and adapt the output to each scheme.

Countries with legislation in force:

Countries with draft legislation:

• Fashion: catalogue by season + returns + sales by channel

• Footwear: weights by reference + composition/materials + consistent categories

• Home textiles: sizes/formats + stable weights + sales by country/channel

• Non-EU eCommerce: destination country + responsible operator + reporting by market

• Marketplaces: seller/operator identification + channel data + sales reconciliation

We help you identify your scenario — sector + channel + countries — define what data you need, and prepare registration/reporting with a repeatable process.
