Assigning a representative for packaging and disposable plastic products
New regulations
Beginning on January 1, 2023, certain people who do not have a registered office or a branch office in Austria will be required to appoint an authorised representative for the removal of their packaging and/or single-use plastic products. The authorised representative assumes the obligations under packaging law for the principal and is responsible for compliance with the Austrian administrative regulations.
