# Austria EPR

Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/austria

<a id="answer"></a>

Austria requires producers who place packaging on the market to meet packaging EPR duties under Austrian packaging EPR: AWG 2002 (Abfallwirtschaftsgesetz 2002) and Verpackungsverordnung 2014 (VVO 2014). We record 2 thresholds and 10 dated deadlines. 11 of 15 core rule fields are verified against primary sources.

<a id="who"></a>

## Who is the producer in Austria

In Austria, packaging EPR obliges producers to organise or fund the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.

The producer hierarchy decides who answers for a pack when several businesses touch it. For Austria, the dataset names the following roles for each packaging level.

<a id="producer-hierarchy"></a>**Who is the producer in Austria, by packaging level**

| Packaging level | Producer roles recorded |
| --- | --- |
| primary (sales) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, importer, online marketplace seller |
| secondary packaging | importer, first distributor |
| service packaging | first distributor |
| shipping packaging | online marketplace seller, authorised representative |
| tertiary (transport) packaging | first distributor |

<a id="producer-default"></a>In Austria, the party that carries the obligation by default is the manufacturer or brand owner, importer, and online marketplace seller.

Paraphrase: Primary obligated parties

<a id="transfer"></a>In Austria, the obligation can be transferred to another party under the stated rules.

Transfer detail: participation in an approved collection and recycling system; foreign sellers must appoint an Austrian Bevollmächtigter

<a id="affiliates"></a>Whether affiliates are counted together in Austria: not yet published. Reason: AWG/VVO text does not state group aggregation; no rule verified.

<a id="revenue-scope"></a>Where a revenue test applies in Austria, it is measured on no revenue test.

Roles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into Austria through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting.

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Thresholds that apply in Austria

Thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, whether it pays fees, or whether it can file a simplified report. Austria publishes 2 verified thresholds.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Thresholds recorded for Austria**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [packaging weight](#threshold-flat-solution-1500kg-household) | 1500 kg per calendar year | a flat-fee band applies | Systems may offer flat-rate solutions to participants at or below 1500 kg a year, as an alternative to the tariffs. |
| [packaging weight](#threshold-flat-solution-1500kg-commercial) | 1500 kg per calendar year | a flat-fee band applies | Same 1500 kg band for commercial packaging. |

<a id="threshold-flat-solution-1500kg-household"></a>Austria sets a packaging weight threshold of 1500 kg per calendar year; effect: a flat-fee band applies.

Basis of the packaging weight threshold: household packaging put on the market.

## Exemptions in Austria

An exemption removes or reduces a duty for a defined group. Austria lists 1 exemption in the dataset. Some apply automatically; others only apply if you ask the regulator for them, usually within a window.

<a id="exemption-upstream-participation"></a>Exemption in Austria: Participation duty lapses where an upstream distributor already participates in a system. It applies without a separate application.

<a id="registration-system"></a>

## Registration and the system in Austria

Registration is where an obligation becomes visible to the regulator. The records below show whether Austria asks producers to register, with whom, and which organisation or scheme carries the collection and recycling system.

<a id="registration"></a>Producers in Austria must register with Register nach § 22 AWG 2002 (Bevollmächtigter entry) and contract with an approved collection and recycling system, which issues the Register entry under § 22 AWG 2002.

Who registers: The Austrian Bevollmächtigter registers for the foreign distance seller; a primary obligated party concludes a participation contract with a system within two months of first putting household packaging on the market

Renewal: Participation declaration at least annually or on a material change

[Registry](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20008902) (opens the official registry page).

Paraphrase: Registration as an authorised representative in the register under § 22 para. 1 AWG 2002, stating

<a id="organisation"></a>In Austria, the system runs through more than one producer responsibility organisation: Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA); membership is required; a local authorised representative is required for foreign producers.

Applies to: Foreign distance sellers selling packaging to private end consumers in Austria; one Bevollmächtigter per seller, seated in Austria

Paraphrase: An authorised representative is a natural or legal person established in Austria.

<a id="categories"></a>The packaging taxonomy in Austria has 10 categories. Granularity: collection categories mapped to tariff categories, household and commercial.

<a id="deadlines"></a>

## Deadlines in Austria

Austria records 10 deadlines, 10 of them verified. This page gives the summary; every date, the period it covers and what it requires are on the deadlines page for Austria.

Every verified date we hold for Austria falls on or before November 9, 2026, so none is still ahead. Check the regulator for the next one.

8 obligations recur on a fixed day each year rather than on a single date.

See every deadline for Austria, with its period and what it requires, on the [Austria deadlines page](https://instica.com/epr/austria/deadlines).

A deadline is a date the regulator published, not a date we set. We can estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file; you sign and submit it in the regulator's own portal.

<a id="fees-reporting"></a>

## Fees and reporting in Austria

Austria publishes 1 fee schedule, for fee year 2026. The schedule sets what each kind of packaging costs; the rates themselves are on the fee pages, not here.

- [Austria 2026 fees](https://instica.com/epr/austria/fees/2026): rates by material for fee year 2026.

The report you file is a defined file or form. Austria records 1 format; we prepare the file to that specification and you upload it yourself.

Austria packaging declaration (working layout) is a csv file submitted through Not identified; the customer signs in to the recipient's service and submits. The customer reviews, signs and submits it.

Columns, material mapping and the checks a file must pass are on the Austria report format page.

<a id="material-fees"></a>

## Austria: packaging fees by material

Instica groups the verified rates of the 2026 Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff schedule for Austria into 10 material classes. For each class the table gives the lowest and highest published rate in EUR per kilogram and the unweighted mean in EUR per tonne, with a link to the source the rates were read from, retrieved September 29, 2026.

<a id="obligations"></a>

## Labelling, languages, targets and penalties in Austria

<a id="labelling"></a>Labelling in Austria: not yet published. Reason: No national packaging marking rule verified in the fetched VVO/AWG text.

<a id="languages"></a>Languages in Austria: not yet published. Reason: No statutory language rule found; the texts and registers are German, so this is an observation.

<a id="target-collection-household-2025"></a>Austria sets a target for share of household packaging mass to be collected separately, per system total: paper 80%, glass 80%, ferrous 65%, aluminium 65%, plastics 80%, beverage cartons 80% from 2025.

<a id="target-collection-household-2030"></a>Austria sets a target for same measure: paper 85%, glass 85%, ferrous 75%, aluminium 75%, plastics 85%, beverage cartons 80% from 2030.

<a id="penalty-1"></a>Austria sets a penalty for Non-participation in a system contrary to AWG 13g(2) to (4) (administrative offence): €450 to €8,400 per offence. Escalation: minimum 2100 for commercial waste-management operators.

Labelling, language, target and penalty rules are the parts of a regime that are easiest to miss. A report filed in the wrong language or a pack without a required mark can cost as much as a late payment, so read each of these against your own products.

## Austria compared with nearby places

Rules do not stop at a border. A business that sells into Austria usually sells into its neighbours too, and the thresholds and deadlines differ. The table reads Austria against the places closest to it that have verified data.

## Austria read against each neighbour

Each paragraph reads Austria against one place from the table above, using only records verified for both. A part is left out when either side is not yet published.

Austria and [Italy](#cmp-IT-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Austria runs more than one producer responsibility organisation, while Italy runs [registered schemes that producers join](#cmp-IT-organisation). Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [10 tonnes per calendar year of packaging weight](#cmp-IT-threshold) in Italy, so the figures cannot be compared directly. The earliest recorded deadline is January 1, 2023 in Austria and [August 12, 2026](#cmp-IT-deadline) in Italy, 1319 days earlier here.

Austria and [Switzerland](#cmp-CH-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run more than one producer responsibility organisation. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [1,000 of units](#cmp-CH-threshold) in Switzerland, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Austria and [Germany](#cmp-DE-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run more than one producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [10 tonnes of tonnage](#cmp-DE-threshold) in Germany, so the figures cannot be compared directly. The earliest recorded deadline is January 1, 2023 in Austria and [December 31, 2026](#cmp-DE-deadline) in Germany, 1460 days earlier here.

Austria and [Czechia](#cmp-CZ-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Austria runs more than one producer responsibility organisation, while Czechia runs [a single producer responsibility organisation](#cmp-CZ-organisation). Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [2000 of revenue](#cmp-CZ-threshold) in Czechia, so the figures cannot be compared directly. The earliest recorded deadline falls on the same day in both, January 1, 2023.

Austria and [Slovakia](#cmp-SK-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [10 tonnes per calendar year of packaging weight](#cmp-SK-threshold) in Slovakia, so the figures cannot be compared directly. The earliest recorded deadline is January 1, 2023 in Austria and [August 12, 2026](#cmp-SK-deadline) in Slovakia, 1319 days earlier here.

Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: 1500 kg per calendar year of packaging weight in Austria and [10 tonnes per calendar year of packaging weight](#cmp-SI-threshold) in Slovenia, so the figures cannot be compared directly. The earliest recorded deadline is January 1, 2023 in Austria and [August 12, 2026](#cmp-SI-deadline) in Slovenia, 1319 days earlier here.

Austria and [Hungary](#cmp-HU-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers.

Behind it are [Oregon](https://instica.com/epr/oregon) (25), [United Kingdom](https://instica.com/epr/uk) (24), United Kingdom Plastic Packaging Tax (24), [Belgium](https://instica.com/epr/belgium) (22), [Washington](https://instica.com/epr/washington) (22) and [Québec](https://instica.com/epr/quebec) (21).

All 31 places in this region in the dataset record an obligation, so Austria is not an outlier among its neighbours.

Ordered by earliest verified deadline, Austria comes 1 of 41, on January 1, 2023. No place has an earlier recorded date. After it come Czechia (January 1, 2023, 0 days on the same day), [Nova Scotia](https://instica.com/epr/nova-scotia) (January 1, 2024, 365 days later), [New Brunswick](https://instica.com/epr/new-brunswick) (June 30, 2025, 911 days later), [Oregon](https://instica.com/epr/oregon) (July 1, 2025, 912 days later), [Colorado](https://instica.com/epr/colorado) (January 1, 2026, 1096 days later) and [Washington](https://instica.com/epr/washington) (March 1, 2026, 1155 days later).

Among places whose first threshold is also counted in packaging weight, Austria sits 1 of 1 from the lowest. The table sets it beside the places just below and just above.

## What to prepare for Austria

1. Work out whether you are the producer for each product you sell in Austria, using the producer roles above.
2. Compare your Austria revenue and packaging weight with each threshold in the table; keep the working.
3. Register with Register nach § 22 AWG 2002 (Bevollmächtigter entry) and contract with an approved collection and recycling system before you report or pay.
4. Put every dated deadline above in your calendar, with the period it covers.
5. Collect packaging weights by material so the report file can be prepared to the format above.
6. Sign and submit your filings yourself in the regulator's portal; Instica never stores portal credentials and never files for you.

Instica measures packaging, estimates what you may owe and prepares the report file. It does not decide whether you are obliged; that stays with you and the regulator.

## How to read this page

Every statement on this page is generated from a verified record, and each record keeps its source address, the date we retrieved it, and, where the source is a statute or notice, the quoted text. A value marked "not yet published" has no verified source yet; we show the reason instead of a number.

Quotes are shown in the language of the source with a labelled summary in English. The summary helps you read; the quote is what the source says. If the two ever differ, the quote governs.

Austria has 11 of 15 core fields verified. The remaining 4 are listed in the overview. When one of them is published, the page changes and the "last verified" date moves; until then, the safest assumption is that the answer is unknown, not that it is no.

<a id="gaps"></a>

## What is still open for Austria

Austria has 4 of 15 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below.

- **Treatment of affiliates**: Reason recorded: AWG/VVO text does not state group aggregation; no rule verified.
- **Reporting notes**: Reason recorded: The systems publish no file layout; contract terms were not fetched.
- **Labelling**: Reason recorded: No national packaging marking rule verified in the fetched VVO/AWG text.
- **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: No statutory language rule found; the texts and registers are German, so this is an observation.

<a id="gaps-meaning"></a>

## What an open field means in practice

A field is marked not yet published when no primary source we can cite says what it needs to say. Below, each open field for Austria is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.

- **Treatment of affiliates**: Whether affiliates are added together affects group companies; keep group revenue and tonnage by entity.
- **Reporting notes**: Reporting notes cover practical points such as units and rounding; keep your working in grams by material.
- **Labelling**: Labelling rules decide whether a pack needs a mark or a sorting instruction; check pack artwork before printing a large run.
- **Filing languages**: The filing language decides whether you need a translation of your report; confirm before you prepare the file.

We re-check open fields when a source changes and when a reviewer flags one. If you hold a primary source that answers an open field for Austria, the data-gaps page explains how to send it; we publish a field only after we can cite the source and its date.

<a id="scenarios"></a>

## What this means for different sellers in Austria

Because Austria records a packaging EPR obligation, each of the following sellers should expect to do some work. What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.

#### A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods

You are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into Austria by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.

#### An importer or reseller of branded goods

Importers are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.

#### A seller that ships through an online marketplace

Some regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for Austria; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.

#### A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year

Compare your figures with the 2 verified thresholds above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief.

<a id="mistakes"></a>

## Common mistakes with Austria packaging EPR

Most problems with packaging EPR do not come from the rule itself; they come from a few repeated slips. These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for Austria.

- Treating "not yet published" as "no". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.
- Using another place's threshold. Austria sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.
- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.
- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.
- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.
- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.

The records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser.

## Questions about packaging EPR in Austria

### <a id="faq-obliged"></a>Do I need to take part in packaging EPR in Austria?

Austria records a packaging EPR obligation for producers, with thresholds that decide who is in scope; compare your figures with the thresholds table. Whether you are the producer depends on the roles listed for each packaging level.

### <a id="faq-who"></a>Who is the regulator in Austria?

No regulator is verified for Austria yet.

### <a id="faq-threshold"></a>Is there a small-business threshold in Austria?

Austria records 2 verified thresholds; see the table above for the amounts and what each one changes.

### <a id="faq-deadline"></a>When are filings due in Austria?

Austria records 10 verified deadlines; they are listed with the period each covers.

### <a id="faq-register"></a>Do I have to register in Austria?

Yes, the dataset records that registration is required in Austria.

### <a id="faq-submit"></a>Does Instica file my report?

No. We measure your packaging, estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file. You review it, sign it and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores regulator-portal credentials.

### <a id="faq-source"></a>How do I know the data is current?

Each record shows the source address and the date we retrieved it. This page was last verified on November 4, 2026.

### <a id="faq-legal"></a>Can I rely on this page for a decision?

It summarizes published sources to help you prepare. For a decision that carries real risk, ask the regulator or a qualified adviser.

<a id="estimate"></a>

> **Estimate**: Figures here are estimates prepared from published sources, not a ruling. You review, sign and submit your own filings; Instica does not store regulator-portal credentials and does not submit for you.
