EPR Glossary

Placing on the market

Making or introducing a product available in a market; the exact legal meaning depends on the applicable regime.

What does Placing on the market mean?

Placing on the market describes a market activity in a regulatory context. The exact activity covered and the role created by it depend on the relevant legal framework.

Why does this matter for EPR?

For EPR it is not enough to know what a product is. How and by whom it reaches a target market can also matter.

How Eprify handles it

Eprify treats market activity and sales route separately from the product's technical characteristics.

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.
