EPR Glossary
Obligated party
The person or organisation to which a specific EPR obligation applies.
What does Obligated party mean?
An obligated party is the actor addressed by a particular obligation. The relevant role can differ from one rule to another and may depend on conditions such as market activity, product type or sales route.
Why does this matter for EPR?
It is not enough to assign an obligation only to a country or EPR stream. It must also be clear who the obligation actually applies to.
How Eprify handles it
Eprify links each assessable obligation to a role rule and its associated conditions.
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.
