Greece guide · source reviewed 27 Aug 2026

Everything we hold on Greece,

and where we read it.

The register, the schemes and the legal texts behind every figure we publish for Greece — with the gaps left in plain sight. The long-form guidance lives on eprgreece.com, which we run too; this page says what stands behind it.

What we hold

The register is public. The scheme is private. They are not the same thing.

The Hellenic Recycling Agency (EOAN) runs EMPA, the National Producers Register. Packaging, WEEE and batteries are recorded as separate activities with their own approved systems. We prepare each route and keep the resulting numbers together. A register and a scheme remain separate: the public side records the producer, while the private side bills the contribution. Completing one does not complete the other.

EMPA is the National Producers Register for packaging and other products. The registration records the producer by stream and issues a Producer Registration Number after the required route is complete.

  • Packaging

    Register
    EMPA National Producers Register
    Scheme
    Hellenic Recovery Recycling Corporation (HERRCO)

    Packaging producers join an approved alternative-management system and then complete the relevant EMPA registration.

  • WEEE

    Register
    EMPA National Producers Register
    Scheme
    Appliances Recycling S.A.

    The WEEE route leads to a Producer Registration Number recorded by EOAN. The scheme contract and the register application are separate steps.

  • Batteries

    Register
    EMPA National Producers Register
    Scheme
    Depends on your product category

    Battery producers are recorded under their own EMPA activity and use an approved system for that stream.

Legal basis

The texts we read. Named, so you can read them too.

These are the references the authority and the schemes cite. We do not paraphrase them into a summary and call it guidance — we name them, and we say the day we last read them.

  • Law 2939/2001 · alternative management of packaging and other products
  • Joint Ministerial Decision 181504/2016 · National Producers Register

What we don't hold

The gaps, named. “We have no source” is not “you owe nothing”.

A seller who reads a blank as “nothing to do here” does not register, and finds out when a listing comes down. So every blank on this page is written out, with what it does and does not mean.

  • Textiles

    No register and no scheme documented for this stream in Greece. That is a gap in our sources, not a statement that you owe nothing — the two are different, and only a person closes the distance.

  • Declaration deadline

    Our sources for Greece do not publish one. We would rather leave this blank than print a date you might plan around.

  • Indicative time to file

    We have not measured one for Greece, and an invented figure is the fastest way to lose the one thing this page is for.

  • Thresholds and exemptions

    None published in the sources we hold. Most EPR rules trigger on the first unit placed on the market rather than on a turnover threshold, and the scope check says whether an exemption applies to you.

We publish a source ledger for all 10 countries we run. The other member states stay listed without a promised opening date. See all countries

The long version lives on eprgreece.com.

We run that site, in the local language, and it carries the full guidance for Greece. This page is the ledger behind it — what we hold, where it comes from, and what is still blank. The canonical for the national detail points there, not here.

Greece is one row. Here's the rest of what you owe.

Every country you ship to runs its own register, its own scheme and its own calendar. Tell us yours and you'll get an indicative map of the lot, on screen, before anyone asks you for a card.

shippeu.com is an independent private service. It is not a government office, an authority, a register or a collective scheme, and it is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by EOAN, EMPA, HERRCO, Appliances Recycling S.A.. Each authority and each scheme decides independently whether and when to accept an application.
