The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) imposes requirements and obligations which most small online retailers are currently unable to meet without incurring significant financial costs.
This applies in particular to the requirement to appoint an authorised representative in every EU country.
For this reason, Triops Galaxy is suspending shipments to the European Union and Switzerland for the time being, until (hopefully) the regulation is amended.
Shipments within Germany will continue without restriction.
Further information on future developments will be provided here on the blog.
