Is it allowed to sell packaged goods in Austria without registering for a recycling license?

Last updated on October 8, 2025

NO. As of January 1, 2023, all companies selling packaged goods in Austria must register with a licensed recycling system and appoint an authorized representative if they are based abroad. This applies even to small quantities of packaging. The regulation aims to increase recycling rates and reduce packaging waste. Non-compliance can result in fines and removal from online marketplaces like Amazon.
