Once your priority markets have been identified, understanding exactly what your organisation is obligated to do in each jurisdiction is critical for maintaining compliance and avoiding regulatory risk. Lorax EPI’s Obligation Assessment provides a thorough, market‑specific review that translates complex requirements into clear, practical next steps tailored to your business.

A precise understanding of your obligations in each market

We assess your unique business model, covering routes to market, product portfolio and legal presence—to determine how these factors influence your EPR duties across all relevant geographies. You receive clarity on whether you are in scope, what activities trigger obligations, and what actions are required to remain compliant.

Market‑specific intelligence you can act on immediately

Each assessment includes a jurisdiction‑by‑jurisdiction breakdown covering:

• Packaging, WEEE, Batteries and Textiles legislation (as required)

• Applicable thresholds, exclusions and exemptions

• Authorised Representative requirements

• Upcoming legislative developments that may impact your business

• Key labelling and design rules

• Identification of your obligated activities plus concrete next steps your business must take

This ensures your team understands not just the regulations, but exactly how they apply to your operations.

Confidence in future compliance planning

By combining current legislative requirements with horizon‑scanning for pending changes, Lorax EPI helps you anticipate future obligations and prepare your internal systems for evolving global regulations.

Your assessment is provided as a structured PDF report with standardised tables for easy comparison across markets.

For teams who prefer a more visual or presentation‑ready format, Lorax EPI can also deliver the findings in PowerPoint and present them in an online session (additional cost).

The Data We Need to Deliver an Accurate Assessment

At the start of the project, Lorax EPI supplies a detailed data request questionnaire to capture the information required to determine your obligations, including:

• Product range and categories

• Company structure and routes to market in each country, including distributor/retailer relationships

• Market presence, such as VAT numbers, staff or physical premises

• Financial turnover and packaging placed on the market 

If your company is not prepared to share full quantitative data, we can assess obligations based on your internal analysis of whether your organisation falls above or below relevant thresholds.

Ongoing Support if You Are Found to Be In Scope

If the assessment confirms that your company has reporting or registration requirements, Lorax EPI can support you with completing registrations, conducting historic calculations and preparing and submitting reports. Ensuring a seamless transition from obligation identification to full compliance.

Lorax EPI provides regulatory expertise and practical compliance guidance, but we do not offer legal advice. All conclusions should be reviewed by your legal advisors where necessary.
