EPRORA · DPP / EPR / Production Connector

Battery, textile and furniture product passports

EPRORA connects packaging compliance, product passports and production data. Small online shops, manufacturers and enterprise groups can organise their data in one platform.

Germany packaging EPR and LUCID

LUCID, German authorised representative, system status, packaging quantities, reports, evidence and shop/marketplace data in one ongoing workflow.

Battery passport

EU battery passports then apply to EV batteries, light-means-of-transport batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. Capture model and item-level evidence at source.

Textile product passport

Product-specific ESPR rules are planned for 2027; actual obligations and transitions depend on adopted measures. There is no universal textile DPP mandate from February 2027.

Furniture product passport

Furniture manufacturers can organise materials, components, suppliers, origin, care information and product identifiers for a digital furniture passport.

Product serialisation and QR identity

Individual products or production units can be uniquely identified by serial numbers and QR codes and linked to product, production, Digital Product Passport and compliance records.

Production Connector: ERP, PIM, MES and commerce

Production and enterprise systems can connect through the EPRORA Production Connector to product, serial-number, packaging and compliance workflows.

Enterprise compliance infrastructure

EPRORA can therefore connect the path from a manufactured unit through serial number, QR-based product identity and Digital Product Passport to packaging and market compliance in one system.

LUCID registration and number

Official registration in the LUCID packaging register is free. The obligated business performs its own registration. Prepare the legal entity, address, brands and packaging types; use an existing valid registration instead of creating a duplicate.

German authorised representative

A German authorised representative is a separate issue from obtaining a LUCID number. Businesses established abroad without a German establishment must assess the applicable appointment requirements. EPRORA supports the mandate and documentation workflow; duties retained by the producer do not disappear.

Costs and scope

Separate free official LUCID registration, any required system participation and EPRORA service fees. Review the current price, included services, any setup fee, renewal and cancellation terms before subscribing. No purchase should be based on an assumed all-inclusive licence.

Product and packaging data

Record product identifiers, packaging components, material, weight, destination and reporting period. Separate product packaging from shipping packaging. Reconcile quantities across channels and retain supporting records rather than estimating missing weights or double-counting orders.

Small sellers and independent shops

Start with the products and packaging actually shipped. An Etsy shop, eBay business or small independent store can prepare the same core records without an enterprise IT project. Use the self-check to identify the relevant next step, not to assume that every service is required.

Marketplaces and shops · Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Vinted Pro, Shopify, WooCommerce

Distinguish private occasional resale from professional Vinted Pro activity. Selling a used item does not automatically settle obligations for newly added shipping packaging. Check Pro availability, eligibility and the platform's current rules; EPRORA is not a Vinted approval service.

Practical next steps

Data connection depends on the platform, account permissions and the specific EPRORA connector available. Confirm those conditions before relying on an API; assess a suitable permitted export/import route where a direct connection is unavailable.

Start with product and packaging master data, map supplier evidence and production batches, then connect serial numbers and QR identities. Interfaces and permissions determine which ERP, PIM, MES and commerce steps can be automated.

For manufacturers exporting to the EU: organise material and supplier evidence from Chinese production facilities, textile and garment factories in Bangladesh, and sock and knitwear production in Morocco. Map batch, SKU and serial identities to the actual production records.

Can I use a product passport before it becomes mandatory?

Battery, textile and furniture passport services are offered now. Service availability does not mean that every product already has a legal passport obligation. Product-specific rules determine duties and dates.
