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 and Waste Electrical Equipment 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 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, or electrical and electronic devices 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.
Send us your inquiry and we will make sure to find the best option for you.
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.
Yes, you do. Licensing of packaging and WEEE for a company without a registered office in Slovenia is only possible by prior appointing an authorized representative in Slovenia, this is independent of the actual quantity you put on the market. You have the option of choosing the flat rate if the yearly quantity is less than 1,000 kg in the packaging segment.

The authorized representative is a legal representative for your packaging, WEEE and batteries, who must assume your obligations. (You’ll find detailed information on the obligations in the next question.) Keeping in mind your obligations, we recommend that you choose your authorized representative carefully. Interzero is a partner you can trust.
In principle, any legal entity can be appointed as an authorized representative, as long as the following criteria are met:
- Registered office in Slovenia (domestic VAT number)

No, no matter how high the quantity you place on the market is, in Slovenia the licensing of packaging, waste electrical and electronic equipment is mandatory. If you are not based in Slovenia, you must also appoint an authorized representative.
If you have already appointed one and are still looking for a collection and recycling system, you can also conclude a license agreement with us.
You have the option of choosing the all-inclusive solutions, which are also of interest to small-scale distributors.
All obligations can be found in the respective ordinances.

Definitions: Who needs an authorized representative?
In April 2021, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation was adopted, which stipulates that all companies placing packaged goods on the Slovenian market that do not have a previous Slovenian supplier will become obliged to report and pay a packaging fee regardless of the quantity from 2021.
From 2006 all companies that produce, distribute or place EEE on the market of Slovenia are obliged to meet their EPR (Extended Producers Responsibility) obligations in Slovenia.
A foreign mail order company (packaging) is a foreign undertaking within the meaning of the law governing companies which, irrespective of the sales technique used, including distance communication in accordance with the rules governing consumer protection, sells packaged goods by means of distance communication directly to end-users.
