EPR declaration software automates the process of collecting, calculating, validating, and preparing the data businesses must report under Extended Producer Responsibility regulations.
Preparing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) declarations should not mean rebuilding spreadsheets for every country and reporting period. With ForSURE's EPR declaration software, you can automate calculations, validate reporting data, generate country-specific declarations, and manage submissions in one structured workflow.
Whether you report packaging, electronics, batteries, or textiles, ForSURE helps you reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and maintain clear records of what has been declared.

Simplify Your EPR Declaration Process
Every EPR declaration starts with data. Product information, sales volumes, material specifications, and weights must be collected, checked, and converted into the format required by the relevant country or Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO).
When this process relies on spreadsheets, even a simple declaration can require hours of data preparation, calculations, and manual checks. Managing multiple countries and EPR categories makes the work even more complex.
ForSURE brings these activities together in a repeatable declaration workflow. The software centralizes your reporting data, calculates reportable quantities, applies country-specific requirements, and prepares declarations for review and submission.
Instead of starting from scratch each reporting period, you work with established data mappings, consistent calculations, and a clear overview of your reporting obligations.
What Is an EPR Declaration?
An EPR declaration is a report that businesses submit under Extended Producer Responsibility regulations to declare the quantities of regulated products, materials, or packaging they place on a market.
Depending on the country and EPR scheme, declarations may include product categories, units placed on the market, material types, weights, packaging composition, and other information used to determine reporting obligations and EPR fees.
For example, a packaging declaration may require the total weight of cardboard, plastic, glass, or other packaging materials placed on a national market during a specific period. A WEEE declaration may require electrical and electronic equipment to be reported by category and weight.
EPR declarations are generally recurring obligations, but their frequency, format, and submission requirements vary by country and scheme.
EPR Registration vs. EPR Declaration
EPR registration and EPR declaration are related but separate activities.
EPR registration establishes your company within the relevant national EPR scheme, often resulting in a registration or producer identification number.
EPR declaration is the recurring reporting process in which you provide information about the products or materials placed on that market.
Registration alone does not necessarily fulfill your ongoing reporting obligations. Once registered, businesses must continue submitting declarations according to the requirements of each applicable scheme.

Turn Your Business Data Into EPR Declarations
The information needed for an EPR declaration already exists somewhere in your business. The challenge is bringing it together in a consistent, reportable format.
Sales quantities may be stored in an ERP or e-commerce platform, while product weights, packaging specifications, and material classifications are maintained in separate systems or supplier files. Manually combining these sources creates repetitive work and increases the risk of inconsistent figures.
ForSURE helps connect operational data with EPR reporting requirements. Through system integrations, APIs, and structured data imports, relevant information can be collected and prepared for declaration calculations.
Your existing product and sales records become the foundation for EPR reporting, reducing the need to manipulate separate files every time a declaration is due.
This also makes your reporting process easier to scale. As your product portfolio grows or your business enters new markets, you can build on the same underlying data instead of creating an entirely new reporting process.
Your EPR declarations should come from your existing business data, not another manually rebuilt spreadsheet.
Automate EPR Declaration Calculations
Calculating reportable EPR quantities is often one of the most time-consuming parts of preparing a declaration.
A business may need to aggregate sales quantities, classify products, calculate total material weights, and separate packaging components before it can determine what to report. These calculations become more complicated when different countries require different classifications, reporting units, or calculation methods.
ForSURE automates these recurring calculations using your EPR data management and the relevant reporting rules.
For example, if a product is sold in several countries, its packaging composition can be used alongside market-specific sales quantities to calculate the amount of each packaging material that must be declared. Similarly, electrical equipment can be mapped to applicable WEEE categories and reported using the required quantities or weights.
Once classifications have been established, they can be reused for future reporting periods. Updated sales figures can then be processed using the existing reporting structure, without rebuilding formulas for every declaration. This helps reduce calculation errors, improve consistency, and make reporting figures easier to review.
Validate Data Before You Declare
An EPR declaration is only as reliable as the data behind it.
Missing product weights, incorrect material classifications, incomplete sales information, or unmapped SKUs can all affect the accuracy of reported quantities. When these issues are discovered shortly before a submission deadline, compliance teams often have to investigate several systems while trying to finalize the declaration.
ForSURE helps identify EPR data requirements during declaration preparation, so they can be addressed before figures are finalized.
Structured validation supports checks for missing attributes, incomplete weights, inconsistent classifications, and other data gaps that may affect your report. It also makes it easier to review unexpected reporting quantities or discrepancies between reporting periods.
By finding these issues earlier, your team can spend less time troubleshooting finished reports and more time maintaining accurate source data.
Validation also improves transparency. Instead of relying on a final spreadsheet total, reviewers can better understand the information and calculations behind the declaration.
Prepare Country-Specific EPR Declarations
EPR declaration requirements vary by country, with different product categories, reporting periods, calculation rules, and submission formats. For businesses operating across multiple markets, managing these differences can create significant manual work.
ForSURE simplifies multi-country EPR reporting by using one centralized data foundation to generate country-specific declarations. The software applies relevant reporting rules, automates calculations, and prepares declaration-ready outputs for each market.
With reusable data mappings and a central overview of reporting obligations, you can manage declarations across countries and EPR categories without rebuilding spreadsheets for every reporting period.

Manage Multiple EPR Categories and Declaration Deadlines
Businesses often need to submit multiple EPR declarations within the same country. Packaging, WEEE, batteries, and textiles can each have different reporting requirements, declaration periods, and submission deadlines.
ForSURE simplifies this complexity by managing multiple EPR categories in one centralized platform. The software supports category-specific reporting workflows while providing a clear overview of upcoming deadlines, declaration progress, and outstanding actions.
This helps compliance teams stay on top of their reporting obligations, reduce manual tracking, and manage declarations across different categories and countries more efficiently.
Submit EPR Declarations and Maintain a Complete Audit Trail
An EPR declaration is not complete until it has been submitted and properly documented. Managing submissions across different PROs and regulatory authorities can make it difficult to track what was reported and retain proof of compliance.
ForSURE supports direct submission to participating PROs and EPR authorities, where available, while maintaining a centralized declaration history. Submission confirmations, reported figures, supporting data, and calculation methods can be tracked for future reference.
With a clear audit trail and traceable source data, compliance teams can easily review historical declarations, manage corrections, and demonstrate how reported figures were calculated.
Replace Manual EPR Declaration Spreadsheets
Manual EPR declarations require repetitive data exports, calculations, and country-specific formatting. As reporting obligations grow, spreadsheets become harder to maintain and more prone to errors.
ForSURE replaces these manual processes with automated calculations, structured data validation, and centralized declaration management, helping businesses prepare accurate EPR declarations more efficiently.
