German packaging regulations

Hi

Could someone please guide me on how to work out quantities to put in for packaging for German regulations for 2025. Do we have to estimate this in advance for 2025? I received an email that the deadline is 31st December. I just started EFN in October 2024.

Thanks

For the German packaging regulations in 2025, you do need to estimate your packaging quantities in advance for the year. This includes primary, secondary, and shipping packaging. The deadline for submitting your estimates is 31st December 2024. Since you started EFN in October 2024, you’ll likely need to provide an estimate based on your expected sales and packaging usage for 2025. If you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to analyze your current sales data from October to December to project your needs. You may also want to consult a compliance service or your packaging scheme provider for guidance.
