EPR Glossary
EPR stream
A subject area within Extended Producer Responsibility, such as packaging, electrical and electronic equipment or batteries.
What does EPR stream mean?
An EPR stream groups related regulatory requirements. Typical streams include packaging, electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. One product can belong to several EPR streams at the same time.
Why does this matter for EPR?
Keeping streams separate matters because they can have different registrations, categories, reporting data, deadlines or fulfilment routes.
How Eprify handles it
Eprify treats EPR streams separately and connects them where one product or market is affected by several streams.
Note: This glossary explains terms in general and does not replace a legal assessment of a specific case. The applicable market, product, role and current legal framework always matter.
