Facing the growing need to combat environmental degradation and to promote sustainable development, the European Union is stepping up its efforts to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 12 – ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns – requires enterprises and institutions to increase their efficiency and simultaneously reduce waste at every stage of the life of a product, from the design stage through to the post-consumer phase, as part of their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). At Ecothesis we offer comprehensive consulting and legal services to assist our Clients in understanding and fulfilling the said requirements. We analyse your current production and consumption processes, identify areas to be optimized and develop strategies to reduce waste and increase resource efficiency. We help our Clients to apply the principles of a Circular Economy, which not only minimises their environmental impact but may result also in considerable savings and enhanced competitiveness. Apart from these, we offer training and workshops for employees to help them understand and implement sustainable practices. With our legal expertise, we help businesses navigate the complex regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance with current legislation and preparation for future legislative changes. We also guide our Clients through their certification processes, as obtaining certification proves the company’s commitment to sustainability and enhances its reputation with customers and business partners.
We offer consulting with regard to national and European product fee laws. We help our Clients understand complicated requirements, identify products subject to fees and bring their business into compliance. Our services include detailed analyses and audits to help companies assess their product fee obligations and develop sustainable strategies. Moreover, we offer support in reporting and settling product fees, which ensures our Clients may avoid sanctions and operate in compliance with regulations. We work with companies to develop and implement effective product fee management systems that can lead to cost optimisation and increased operational efficiency. Regardless of the size and sector in which your enterprise operates, our consultancy services can help you effectively manage your product fee obligations and take full advantage of the opportunities associated with more sustainable production and consumption.
Understanding and implementing product fee legislation can be a challenge for many companies. It is necessary to identify whether an enterprise actually markets certain products – such as tyres, vehicles, batteries and accumulators, or single-use plastic products (so-called SUPs). It is also important to identify the enterprise’s role in the supply chain, as sometimes the producer and the manufacturer can be separate business entities. Grasping that is crucial to enable businesses effectively manage their obligations and minimise the risk of non-compliance. We offer legal expertise and advice on practical solutions to help our Clients not only comply with legal requirements, but also promote sustainable production and consumption within their business. Our specialist team thoroughly analyses an eterprise’s operations, identifying areas that are subject to product fee regulations. As a result, we help to identify precisely the obligations our Clients are subject to and cooperate with them to develop a strategy for their implementation. Cooperating with us, you gain a partner who helps you achieve your environmental and business goals, at the same time minimising legal and financial risks. We support our Clients in the implementation of environmental management systems, which can result in certification and may greatly improved their company’s image.
