How does this law impact on Delcampe members?
Following the entry into force of the German Packaging Act ("VerpackG"), we are required to check that our professional sellers selling to private buyers residing in Germany comply with the obligations of this legislation as of 01/07/2022.
This law requires professional sellers to register in the LUCID register (via the ZSVR website) on the one hand and, on the other hand, to select a local eco-orgazation which will be responsible for collecting and recycling the packaging placed on the German trade market.
Once a year, they will also have to declare which types of packaging were used and their volume in kilos (to the ZSVR and the selected eco-orgazation).
To carry out this verification, we have to ask our professional sellers to provide their LUCID registration number on the website.
Which sellers are concerned?
The sellers concerned are all professional sellers, regardless of their country, who sell to private individuals residing in Germany.
Warning: if you are not registered, you will not be able to sell your items to members located in Germany.
