FAQ
Questions about the authorised representative
The authorized representative takes responsibility for all obligations resulting from the legal framework conditions of the foreign supplier.
All obligations can be found in the Slovenian Packaging Ordinance, Waste Electrical Equipment Ordinance and Slovenian Battery Ordinance.
As your company is based outside of Slovenia, you are required by law to appoint an authorized representative based in Slovenia who will conclude a license agreement for you to discharge your packaging, batteries, or waste electrical and electronic equipment (areas of producer responsibility). As the Interzero Group, we are at your side both as an authorized representative and as a collection and recycling system for licensing – simple and legally compliant.
Foreign mail order companies without a registered office in Slovenia that deliver packaging, goods or packaged goods, electrical and electronic devices or batteries to private end consumers in Slovenia within the framework of distance selling are obliged to appoint an authorized representative in Slovenia for products placed on the market.
Foreign mail order companies without a registered office in Croatia that deliver packaging, goods or packaged goods to private end consumers in Croatia within the framework of distance selling are obliged to appoint an authorized representative in Croatia for packaging placed on the market.

If you don’t sell directly to private end consumers in Slovenia, you don’t have to license the packaging. In this case, the obligation falls on your Slovenian corporate customers, who are the first to place products on this market. Please inform your (corporate) customers in Slovenia that the packaging delivered to them is not licensed. Your customers must then decide for themselves how to proceed.
