Authority or register filing
Fixed only where legislation, a competent authority or an official register provides a clear day.
Free EU27 compliance calendar
See packaging EPR deadlines without mixing different clocks.
There is no single EU packaging-EPR deadline. A national authority filing, PRO or system report, invoice/payment date, registration step and marketplace control can all run on different calendars. This tool keeps those layers separate and creates a fixed date only where the reviewed source supports one.

How to read the calendar
A deadline is useful only when you know who owns it.
The matrix is event-level, not one-date-per-country. That prevents a PRO date from being mislabelled as a statutory date or an invoice date from being presented as a filing deadline.
Operator reporting
Scheme/member reporting can have its own monthly, quarterly or annual cadence.
Invoice is not filing
When payment depends on an actual invoice or assessment, the tool keeps it relative instead of inventing a fixed date.
Tax, DRS and transitions
Conditional taxes, deposit systems, registration steps and one-off transition events stay separate.
PPWR Article 44
1 June is an EU register layer, not a magic replacement date.
Article 44(7) and (8) establish a 1 June reporting framework for the national PPWR register layer once the Member State implementation route is operational. Existing national and PRO calendars can still coexist during implementation and must be mapped country by country.
Annual register information
For a full preceding calendar year, the national PPWR register layer uses the 1 June framework where the national implementation route applies.
EUR-Lex ↗Simplified data under 10 tonnes
The simplified data set is not an EPR exemption; it is a different reporting data set within the Article 44 register layer.
EUR-Lex ↗Quarterly may still exist
Member States may require quarterly reporting for budgetary reasons, so one annual EU-level date does not erase all operating calendars.

FAQ
Where calendar certainty comes from.
Does this tool really cover all 27 EU Member States?+
Yes. Every Member State has a country record and at least one researched operating event or an explicit rule-based verification event. The tool does not fill gaps with invented dates.
Does PPWR Article 44 mean every country deadline is now 1 June?+
No. Article 44 creates a national PPWR register reporting layer. National authority, PRO, payment, tax and deposit-system calendars remain distinct until each national implementation route is mapped and operational.
Why do some payment events have no fixed day?+
Because many EPR contributions are payable from the actual PRO invoice, authority assessment or contract term. A fake calendar day would be less accurate than a rule-based event.
What goes into the ICS file?+
Only events with a real fixed date generated from the reviewed rule. Contract, invoice, portal and live-verification events are excluded from ICS.
Can I select 2027 or 2028?+
Yes, but recurring dates are projected only where the source describes a recurring rule. A deadline published specifically for 2026 is not automatically copied into later years.
Operational planning tool, not legal advice. Producer status, packaging scope, representation, selected PRO/system and live portal/account conditions must be confirmed separately before filing or payment. Matrix review: 3 September 2026.
