Registration, data reporting and all the related activities of the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) are free of charge for producers/initial distributors. The ZSVR is financed exclusively by approved systems and sector-specific solutions. Independently of this, producers/initial distributors of packaging subject to system participation incur the costs of their packaging participating in the selected system(s), i.e. participation fees for the recovery and recycling of this packaging.
