Extended Producer Responsibility makes brands contribute to the end-of-life cost of what they sell. The contribution depends on what you placed on each market, by weight and by material. Those numbers are already in your product records.
What the export contains
Three sheets for the garments, plus five for packaging reporting.
Garments, one row per style and batch: purchase order, supplier, quantity, garment weight, fabric and yarn weight, trims weight, the fibre breakdown, recycled content with its split between post-consumer and post-production, the microplastic flag, packaging per garment, packaging at box level, packaging total for the market, a packaging breakdown by category and material, and the batch totals in kilograms.
Fibres, one row per fibre per style: the weight per garment, the share of the garment, and the weight for the whole batch.
Packaging, one row per packaging component per style: the category (garment protective bag, hangtag, shipping box, and so on), the material, the recycled content and its source, the certification, the weight per item or per box, units per box, the weight for the whole batch, the EU material code, the fibre content, the ink type and whether it can be recycled.
Shipping Box, Hangtag, Silk Paper, Garment Protective Bag and Moisture Control Material, one sheet per packaging type for packaging reporting under the PPWR. Rows group identical materials across every style in the export: material, recycled source, recycled content, fibre content, ink type, EU material code, whether it can be recycled, and the total weight in kilograms. Moisture control lists the pouch material and the desiccant filling instead.
The EU material code (PAP 21, LDPE 4 and so on) follows from the material you pick. Where a material has no single code, such as a PE blend, pick the code on the component. Fibre content is asked for paper and cardboard only: eco-modulated packaging fees are expected to weigh the pulp fibre share of paper.
Published products export from their frozen snapshot, so the figures match the passport. Drafts export from the current record.
Export for one purchase order
Open the purchase order and choose Export EPR Data, then Download CSV or Download XLSX. CSV gives the garments sheet only, with the fibre and packaging breakdowns as columns; XLSX gives every sheet.
Export for a period
Open EPR Reporting and choose Export EPR Data. Pick a quarter, a year or custom dates, then the basis: Purchase Order ETA takes every product on purchase orders due in the period, drafts included, exactly as the report table shows them; Publish Date takes the products published in the period. A quarterly or annual report is one export.
Reading the report page
The EPR page shows the same data as a report rather than a file: tonnage by quarter, by fibre and by packaging type, with a breakdown per purchase order. Use it to sanity-check the figures before you file anything.
Pick one packaging type in the filter and the chart, the table and the bars break it down by the full material specification, for example 5-ply cardboard - AB flute (PAP 20), 80% recycled (Mixed), 95% Fibre. Picking one fibre breaks it down by its recycled variants. Click a purchase order for its breakdown, and download that breakdown as CSV or Excel from the dialog.
Filing with a scheme
Every country runs its own scheme with its own form and its own deadlines, and most textile formats are still being written. Denmark, for instance, must have a textile scheme running by April 2028 and has not published a reporting format for textiles yet.
Until a scheme publishes its format, export the generic sheets and map the columns into whatever form you are given. The underlying figures do not change.
Getting the numbers right
Garment weight is calculated from fabric weight, width and consumption plus trims, not typed. If a weight looks wrong, the input is wrong, and the Report tab shows you which one.
Packaging must be on the record. Packaging that lives in a separate spreadsheet will be missing from the report.
Destination market matters. Fees are per country of placement, so a brand selling in several markets reports in each.
Recycled content needs its source recorded, post-consumer or post-production, because eco-modulated fees are expected to treat them differently.
What the fee will be
Where a national scheme already runs, it publishes its own tariff; for the schemes still being set up, the fee is not known yet. Contributions are expected to be eco-modulated on weight and recyclability, and the criteria are set per country. What you can do now is make sure the data behind the fee is defensible.
Scheme filings
The Filings tab on EPR Reporting turns the same figures into a national scheme's declaration layout: pieces per category for France (Refashion), kilograms per category for the Netherlands (UPV Textiel), and a generic layout for other markets. Set the markets on each purchase order first so the pieces are split by country. See File an EPR declaration.
Denmark, packaging producer responsibility
Packaging producer responsibility already applies in Denmark, with fees set per material subcategory and eco-modulated as Green, Yellow or Red. The Denmark, Dansk Producentansvar (packaging) filing reports the packaging that travels with your garments, per quarter: kilograms per subcategory (cardboard, paper, flexible plastic and so on), split into household packaging and business-to-business packaging (the shipping box), in the layout of the Dansk Producentansvar template.
Each component's level comes from its eco-modulation answers on the Packaging tab: the fibre content and surface treatment of paper and board, and the colour, carbon black and print of plastics. These answers appear only on products whose purchase order sells in Denmark. A component that cannot be determined yet is reported as Red until it is documented, and Yellow is not assessed. Cotton or fabric hang tags fall outside the Danish subcategories and are listed separately.
