An EU Battery Regulation actor that organizes extended producer responsibility obligations on behalf of several producers.
Producer responsibility organisation is the collective-performance vehicle for EU Battery Regulation extended producer responsibility: a legal entity that organises obligations on behalf of several producers rather than a single brand owner alone.
This page is EU Battery Regulation-specific. It is related to Ontario producer responsibility organizations and NSW product stewardship organisations, but it is not the Ontario producer responsibility organization and should not be treated as the same legal actor as a UK battery compliance scheme.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries
a legal entity that financially or financially and operationally organises the fulfilment of extended producer responsibility obligations on behalf of several producers;
Reference: Article 3, point 49
Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with EPR/recycling responsibility policy: separates producer obligations, scheme evidence, recycling actor roles, repurposing transitions, waste-management quality, and process-yield proof.
Implementation records should capture organisation identifier, producer membership, covered battery category, authority approval, Member State, reporting period, collection or treatment obligation, recycling finance, performance target, fee/financing record, and downstream operator link.
Producer responsibility organisation is the collective-compliance control and obligation-routing entity for EU battery EPR evidence. It should link producers, categories, authorities, periods, targets, fees, and downstream handling records so a PRO relationship is traceable to actual obligations and results.
