Our many years of expertise will help you achieve a legally compliant Declaration of Completeness.

Declarations of Completeness must be audited by a registered auditor.

Our publicly appointed and sworn experts for packaging disposal are registered as auditors with the Central Agency Packaging Register. In addition to expert knowledge in packaging, material classification, and delimitation of packaging not subject to system participation, we also have many years of experience examining Declaration of completeness and can support your company in its submission.

 

According to § 11 VerpackG, anyone who brings packaging into circulation for the first time that is subject to system participation is obliged to submit such a Letter of Representation on his packaging subject to system participation for the previous year by 15 May of the following year.

 

This obligation exists if at least one of the following thresholds has been exceeded:
