Simply more than the cost – your packaging licence from 39 euros per year
As a dual system, we take care of the entire cycle of your packaging. This means that we organise the collection, sorting and recycling of your packaging. And there's even more to your licence: personal advice on all services, help with your questions, practical features, reminders for important deadlines and, above all, the promise to do more for the environment in partnership with us!

By taking out a licence and paying your licence fee, you are participating in a dual system of your choice. In this way, you finance the disposal and recycling process of your packaging, which is collected in the yellow bin/yellow bag, paper or used glass container. This is how we enable an efficient circular economy together!
The costs include the following services that your dual system fulfils:
Collection
of packaging disposed of by end users
Sorting
of recyclables in sorting plants (incl. sorting of household waste)
Processing
of recyclable materials into recycled raw materials (e.g. recyclates)
Administrative costs
for various activities, such as the transmission of packaging quantities to LUCID

What's behind the packaging licence fees
According to the German Packaging Act (VerpackG), you are obliged to licence your sales packaging with a dual system, register in the LUCID packaging register of the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) and regularly report your data there. Why is this necessary? As a distributor of packaging that ends up at the end consumer's home, you are responsible for the recycling of this packaging.
And since it is difficult for you to collect, sort and recycle all packaging yourself after your customers have disposed of it, there are dual systems. We are one of them – and we take care of the entire recycling process for your packaging with our own sorting and recycling facilities. By fulfilling your obligation to participate in a dual system (packaging licensing), you transfer your tasks to this system, for example to us.
You pay for all the recycling steps so that new packaging can be created from old ones. The costs depend on the quantity of your packaging and the type of packaging materials. At Lizenzero, you can license your packaging for as little as €39 per year.
Note: There is no obligation to participate in the dual system for transport packaging (= packaging for the transport of goods between trading partners in the B2B sector). The take-back and recycling of this packaging is subject to the provisions of §15 VerpackG. Interzero offers take-back and recycling solutions for transport packaging; find out more here: Recycling of transport packaging via Interzero.
How to find your dual system
The various system providers can set their prices and services individually. At Lizenzero, for example, we prioritise providing great service – because we know that even more bureaucracy will only slow you down in your day-to-day business. This reduces the acceptance of the measures and is not in the interests of the environment. That's why we provide support wherever we can! What all dual systems have in common, however, is that they take over the collection, sorting and processing of your licensed packaging. But not all of them, like us, also operate their own sorting, recycling and research facilities and can therefore effectively drive recycling forward.
Would you like a little more history of the dual systems? Your obligations to participate in a dual system and to pay licence fees have been defined since the German Packaging Ordinance.
In the early years of the Dual System, there was only one provider, the Green Dot. The monopoly held by the Green Dot - Duales System Deutschland GmbH (DSD) - was, however, ended by the EU Commission. There are now a number of companies that offer to licence packaging. These companies organised in the Dual System are in turn referred to as 'dual systems'. There are currently eleven of these in Germany. The dual system Interzero Recycling Alliance, to which Lizenzero belongs, is one of them. You are free to choose which company you conclude your licence agreement with.

Your license package:
Your annual licence contract includes the VerpackG-compliant licensing of the entered packaging quantities, the online seal as proof of your system participation, your annual Resources SAVED certificate and a service flat rate. To ensure that you are permanently legally compliant and do not have to worry about this every year, the contract is extended at the beginning of each year. You can cancel the contract yourself in your customer account up to 3 months before the end of each year.
25,00 € plus VAT
Your packaging licence fee depends on the amount of packaging you put into circulation each year and the respective packaging materials (so-called fractions). The total weight per packaging material in kilograms is decisive.
You can easily calculate the weight in kilograms with our Lizenzero calculation tool. After entering your data, our calculator will show you transparently how high your licence fee will be. To pay the fee, you can then choose from various payment methods such as PayPal, credit card, invoice or Klarna to conclude the contract.
This is how it works:
- Under the standard packaging types for each material, enter the volumes you are using.
- Then simply click on "CALCULATE YOUR LICENSE VOLUMES NOW" to calculate your packaging licence costs.
Note: After concluding your licence agreement, you still need to register with the ZSVR's LUCID packaging register and report your volumes and the name of your dual system there too. LUCID does not charge any additional costs for this.
