Non-compliant sales through online marketplaces | EucoLight Webinar

National approaches to prevent non-compliant sales through online marketplaces

The high level of product sold through online marketplaces that is not compliant with extended producer responsibility legislation is well established.  The Covid-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the problem, as the growth in online sales has accelerated.

A number of Member states are now taking decisive legislative action to solve the non-compliance problem.  This webinar is showcased the range of solutions being implemented across the EU.  It gives Member States, and other countries that have not yet taken action, options for tackling the growing scourge of online non-compliance.  It also shows compliant producers the steps that are now being taken to create a level playing field.
