- Register
- Evidenca proizvajalcev — the ARSO ‘Embalaža’ application
- Authority
- Agencija RS za okolje (ARSO)
- Law
- Uredba o embalaži in odpadni embalaži (Uradni list RS, št. 54/21)the register covers every legal person and sole trader active in packaging — packer, acquirer of packed goods, maker or acquirer of service packaging, or a FOREIGN COMPANY placing packaging on the Slovenian market. Producers already entered under the earlier decree do not re-register, but must report every change of activity through the same application.
- Who registers
- You register yourself in the national system
- Authorised representative
- The representative files the registration for youpooblascení zastopnik — for a foreign company the REGISTRATION ITSELF is filed by the authorised representative, not by the company
- Reporting
- Annual declarationwho reports depends on how you comply: a producer meeting the obligations INDEPENDENTLY reports the tonnage to ARSO itself; for everyone else the chosen waste-packaging company (DROE) reports on their behalf. Reporting is by material type.
- Also required
- Membership of a waste-packaging company
- Household packaging schemes
- Slopak, Interzero, Surovina, Dinos, Recikel, Embakom.
- Industrial packaging schemes
- Slopak, Interzero, Surovina, Dinos, Recikel, Embakom.
What is not settled
- Reporting Not established at sourceThe current annual deadline was not established: the sources read describe the 31 March 2022 date for the last self-reported period under the transition, not the standing deadline.
- Authorised representative Sources disagreeThe authorised-representative duty is under review. On 10 December 2025 the Commission published COM(2025) 982, part of the Omnibus VIII environmental simplification package, whose Article 2 would suspend Art. 45(3) until 1 January 2035; COM(2025) 983 proposes the same for the Single-Use Plastics Directive. The suspension as drafted covers producers ESTABLISHED IN THE UNION selling cross-border directly to end users. Producers established in third countries are not covered — member states may still require a representative or ensure traceability by other means. European Parliament committee reports of May 2026 would narrow the relief to micro and small enterprises. PROPOSAL, AND NOW LARGELY STOPPED: on 24 June 2026 the Council decided not to proceed with the suspension, opposed by a large majority of member states. A Parliament committee vote is expected around October 2026, and even the Parliament's narrower approach would keep the framework for producers outside the EU. Article 45(3) applies as written today, and for a producer established in a third country nothing in this proposal ever applied.
The same in every EU country
- PPWR Art. 44 — registration is a precondition for placing packaging on that market

We do not register you, we are not your authorised representative, and we do not pay a scheme. This is public information gathered in one place and checked on the date shown. Confirm with the national authority before acting.

The number these registers ask for is kilograms by material for one year of deliveries. If your shipments are recorded as they go out, that number already exists.
