Sellers often mix up GPSR and EPR because marketplaces ask for both. They are separate obligations.

GPSR

EU-wide regulation on product safety, Regulation (EU) 2023/988
Requires an EU-established economic operator for the product
Their contact details go on the product or packaging and in the listing

EPR

Extended producer responsibility for the waste your products and packaging create
National: you register separately in each country where you sell
Separate streams: packaging, electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries, and others depending on the country
Usually includes joining a collective scheme and declaring quantities

Why one provider helps

Both need the same product data (what you sell, where, how it is packaged). With one contact you send it once. IberTrust Global covers the GPSR Responsible Person role and Spanish EPR for packaging, WEEE and batteries.
