Services Across Europe

Ammon Ovis provides centralized EPR compliance services across Europe, including Authorized Representative support and recycling contribution calculations for Packaging, WEEE and Batteries.

Before registration or market entry, we use your product categories, materials, unit weights, sales volumes and destination countries to estimate the recycling contributions your business may owe and turn national fee tables into a clear cost model for pricing and budgeting.

AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE & EPR COMPLIANCE

Selling in a country where your company is not established can trigger local EPR representation and registration obligations. We assess where an Authorized Representative is required and coordinate registrations, reporting, deadlines and communication with national authorities and recycling schemes through one central point of contact.
