Have you recently received an email from the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) asking you to report your initial planned volumes for 2025? We can help and guide you through the process step by step. So you'll be well-prepared for the coming year.

 

Background to the ZSVR mailing campaign

The ZSVR regularly informs retailers and companies that are registered there about their legal obligations. This includes, among other things, that manufacturers bear product responsibility for their packaging within the meaning of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG). In order to fulfil this responsibility, you must register in the ZSVR's LUCID packaging register and indicate the volumes of packaging subject to system participation that you put into circulation. In addition to registering and reporting data in LUCID, you must also licence your packaging with a dual system, such as Interzero (via Lizenzero), and conclude a system participation agreement.

Note: The licensing and registration of your packaging must always be completed BEFORE it is placed on the market. It is therefore necessary to licence your packaging for 2025 now and enter it in LUCID via the planned volume report.

 

Your initial planned volume declaration with Lizenzero

1. Log in to your Lizenzero account with your login details. (If you do not yet have a licence agreement with Lizenzero, simply register and enter your volumes for 2025 in the calculator, that's it).
2. Click on VOLUME REPORTING in the left-hand menu and then on Initial planned volume report 2025.
3. Enter your planned packaging volumes per material type for the coming year in the calculator (we will display your last reported volumes here; you can adjust them or leave them as they are).
4. Then click on Save changes and follow the next step until the order confirmation.
5. Continue the order process for the 2025 packaging licence by selecting the payment method and finally placing your order with payment obligation.
6. As soon as the invoice amount has been paid, you have successfully completed your initial planned volume notification.

After your volume report for the coming year, you must also submit your planned volumes to LUCID in order to be compliant. You can find out how to do this below.
