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

Whether producers in Romania carry a packaging EPR obligation is not yet published in our dataset. We record 1 threshold and 2 dated deadlines. 6 of 16 core rule fields are verified against primary sources. Each figure on this page shows its source and retrieval date.

<a id="overview"></a>

## Packaging EPR in Romania: what we have verified

This page collects what we have verified about packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) in Romania. 6 of 16 core rule fields are published from primary sources and 10 are not yet published. The dataset was last reviewed on September 29, 2026, and the newest source on this page was retrieved on September 29, 2026.

- **Regime**: Not yet published
- **Regulator**: Not yet published
- **Producers obliged**: Not yet published
- **System**: Not yet published
- **Registration**: [Required](#registration)
- **Fee schedules**: 1

<a id="regime"></a>The name of the packaging EPR regime in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Regime text not retrieved verbatim.

<a id="regulator"></a>The regulator in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Regulator not confirmed by a retrieved quote.

<a id="obligated"></a>Whether producers are obliged in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Obligation not confirmed by a retrieved quote.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Romania: the regime name, the regulator, whether producers are obliged, who the rules apply to, the revenue basis, treatment of affiliates, the organisation model, the material categories, reporting notes, and filing languages. Each of these stays blank until a primary source is verified; we do not fill gaps from memory or from other jurisdictions.

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

## Who is the producer in Romania

We could not verify from a primary source whether producers in Romania carry a packaging EPR obligation, so the dataset marks the question as not yet published. Until it is, treat any claim about Romania on this site, or elsewhere, as unverified and check the regulator directly.

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

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

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

<a id="producer-default"></a>In Romania, the party that carries the obligation by default is the manufacturer or brand owner, importer, and first distributor.

>

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

Transfer detail: written mandate to an authorised representative or entrusting a producer responsibility organisation

<a id="affiliates"></a>Whether affiliates are counted together in Romania: not yet published. Reason: No affiliate rule found.

<a id="revenue-scope"></a>The revenue basis in Romania: not yet published. Reason: No revenue basis found.

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 Romania 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 Romania

Thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, whether it pays fees, or whether it can file a simplified report. Romania publishes 1 verified threshold and 1 not yet published.

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

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [packaging weight](#threshold-ppwr-10t-simplified-reporting) | 10 tonnes per calendar year | a reduced duty applies | Below 10 t a producer submits the reduced Annex IX Part B point 2 information; a Member State may set a lower ceiling for a specific year. |
| packaging weight | Not yet published |  |  |

<a id="threshold-ppwr-10t-simplified-reporting"></a>Romania sets a packaging weight threshold of 10 tonnes per calendar year; effect: a reduced duty applies.

Basis of the packaging weight threshold: packaging made available for the first time in the Member State.

> a quantity of packaging, including packaging of packaged products, of less than 10 tonnes during one calendar year

<a id="threshold-national-de-minimis"></a>A threshold in Romania: not yet published. Reason: National threshold not retrieved.

<a id="exemptions"></a>

## Exemptions in Romania

An exemption removes or reduces a duty for a defined group. Romania 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="registration-system"></a>

## Registration and the system in Romania

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

<a id="registration"></a>Producers in Romania must register. How: National producer register under PPWR Art. 44.

Who registers: Each producer, or its PRO or authorised representative, in each Member State where it first makes packaging available

> Producers shall be obliged to register in the register referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article in each Member State where they make packaging

<a id="organisation"></a>The organisation model in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Not retrieved.

<a id="categories"></a>The material categories in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Not retrieved.

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

## Deadlines in Romania

Romania records 2 deadlines, 2 of them verified. This page gives the summary; every date, the period it covers and what it requires are on the deadlines page for Romania.

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

1 obligation recurs on a fixed day each year rather than on a single date.

See every deadline for Romania, with its period and what it requires, on the Romania deadlines page.

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 Romania

Romania 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.

- Romania 2026 fees: rates by material for fee year 2026.

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

Romania 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 Romania report format page.

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

## Labelling, languages, targets and penalties in Romania

<a id="labelling"></a>Packaging labelling is required in Romania, under PPWR harmonised material-composition label (pictograms).

Labelling note: Packaging placed on the market must carry the harmonised label from 12 August 2028 or 24 months after the labelling implementing acts, whichever is later.

> packaging placed on the market shall be marked with a harmonised label containing information on its material composition
>
> Source: Labelling (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2025/40/oj), Retrieved: September 29, 2026, Language: en

<a id="languages"></a>Languages in Romania: not yet published. Reason: Not verified.

<a id="target-ppwr-2025-all"></a>Romania sets a target for recycling rate, all packaging waste: 65% by December 31, 2025.

<a id="target-ppwr-2030-all"></a>Romania sets a target for recycling rate, all packaging waste: 70% by December 31, 2030.

<a id="penalty-1"></a>Romania sets a penalty for infringements of PPWR EPR duties: set by each Member State (must be effective, proportionate, dissuasive; administrative fines for Arts. 24-29) per infringement.

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.

## Romania compared with nearby places

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

## Where Romania sits among the places we cover

Counted by verified core records, Romania holds 6 of 17 and ranks 41 of 53 places in the dataset. The places just ahead of it are Greece (7), Lithuania (7), [Alberta](https://instica.com/epr/alberta) (6), [Saskatchewan](https://instica.com/epr/saskatchewan) (6), [Estonia](https://instica.com/epr/estonia) (6) and Malta (6). The places just behind it are Slovenia (6), [France](https://instica.com/epr/france) (5), [Hungary](https://instica.com/epr/hungary) (5), [Portugal](https://instica.com/epr/portugal) (5), Ireland (4) and [Cyprus](https://instica.com/epr/cyprus) (3).

Counting every verified record, not only the core fields, Romania holds 9 and ranks 45 of 53. Ahead of it are Slovakia (11), [France](https://instica.com/epr/france) (10), Lithuania (10), Ireland (9), Iceland (9) and Malta (9). Behind it are Slovenia (9), [Cyprus](https://instica.com/epr/cyprus) (8), [Portugal](https://instica.com/epr/portugal) (8), Newfoundland and Labrador (0), Northwest Territories (0) and Nunavut (0).

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

Ordered by earliest verified deadline, Romania comes 32 of 41, on August 12, 2026. Before it come Luxembourg (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), [Latvia](https://instica.com/epr/latvia) (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), Malta (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), [Netherlands](https://instica.com/epr/netherlands) (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), [Poland](https://instica.com/epr/poland) (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day) and [Portugal](https://instica.com/epr/portugal) (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day). After it come [Sweden](https://instica.com/epr/sweden) (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), Slovenia (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), Slovakia (August 12, 2026, 0 days on the same day), [Alberta](https://instica.com/epr/alberta) (October 1, 2026, 50 days later), [United Kingdom](https://instica.com/epr/uk) (October 1, 2026, 50 days later) and [Germany](https://instica.com/epr/germany) (December 31, 2026, 141 days later).

Among places whose first threshold is also counted in packaging weight, Romania sits 10 of 13 from the lowest. The table sets it beside the places just below and just above.

<a id="prepare"></a>

## What to prepare for Romania

1. Record what you ship into Romania by product and packaging, so you can answer quickly if a rule is published.
2. Check the neighbouring places in the table: a business that sells there may already have duties.
3. Come back to this page: it changes when a primary source does, and the date at the top shows when we last verified it.

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.

<a id="method"></a>

## 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.

Romania has 6 of 16 core fields verified. The remaining 10 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 Romania

Romania has 10 of 16 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below.

- **The regime name**: Reason recorded: Regime text not retrieved verbatim.
- **The regulator**: Reason recorded: Regulator not confirmed by a retrieved quote.
- **Whether producers are obliged**: Reason recorded: Obligation not confirmed by a retrieved quote.
- **Who the rules apply to**: Reason recorded: Scope not retrieved.
- **The revenue basis**: Reason recorded: No revenue basis found.
- **Treatment of affiliates**: Reason recorded: No affiliate rule found.
- **The organisation model**: Reason recorded: Not retrieved.
- **The material categories**: Reason recorded: Not retrieved.
- **Reporting notes**: Reason recorded: No report layout retrieved.
- **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: Not verified.

<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 Romania is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.

- **The regime name**: Without a regime name you cannot look up the statute or ordinance yourself from this page; search the regulator's site for the packaging or producer responsibility rule.
- **The regulator**: Without a named regulator we cannot point you to a portal or a contact; the national or state environment authority is the usual starting point.
- **Whether producers are obliged**: This is the most important open question: until it is published, you cannot tell from this page whether a duty exists, so ask the authority and keep its answer.
- **Who the rules apply to**: Who the rules apply to decides whether small, foreign or online sellers are in scope; until it is published, assume nothing in either direction.
- **The revenue basis**: The revenue basis decides which sales count toward a threshold; keep revenue split by place so any basis can be applied later.
- **Treatment of affiliates**: Whether affiliates are added together affects group companies; keep group revenue and tonnage by entity.
- **The organisation model**: The organisation model says whether you deal with one body, several, or the state; it decides who you pay and who issues proof.
- **The material categories**: Material categories decide how packaging is grouped for fees; weigh and record packaging by material so any grouping can be applied.
- **Reporting notes**: Reporting notes cover practical points such as units and rounding; keep your working in grams by material.
- **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 Romania, 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 Romania

Because the obligation question for Romania is not yet published, each of the following sellers is in the same position: unable to rely on this page for a yes or a no. What differs is what to keep ready.

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

Start recording packaging weights by material for Romania now. If a duty is confirmed, you will want last year's figures, and they are far easier to keep than to rebuild.

#### An importer or reseller of branded goods

Ask your suppliers whether they register in Romania. If the answer is not yet known, record the answer you got and its date; the supplier chain is where a missed duty usually hides.

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

Marketplaces often publish their own packaging guidance ahead of the law. Read it for Romania, but treat it as the marketplace's rule, not the regulator's.

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

Compare your figures with the 1 verified threshold 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 Romania 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 Romania.

- 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. Romania 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 Romania

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

That is not yet published for Romania. We would rather say so than guess; check the regulator directly.

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

No regulator is verified for Romania yet.

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

Romania records 1 verified threshold; see the table above for the amounts and what each one changes.

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

Romania records 2 verified deadlines; they are listed with the period each covers.

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

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

### <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 September 29, 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.
