Questions

Answers to the most common questions about the EPR module and environmental compliance

What is EPR and why do I need it?

What is EPR and why do I need it?+
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is the legal obligation for companies to manage the packaging they place on the market. In Romania, Law 249/2015 requires reporting and payment of contributions to transfer responsibility organizations (OTR) such as GreenPoint or Eco-Rom.

How does PILOT help me save on EPR taxes?

How does PILOT help me save on EPR taxes?+
The system automatically identifies reusable packaging (pallets, crates) and exempts them from taxes. It also correctly separates Household vs. Commercial streams and automatically deducts packaging from returns/credit notes.

Which OTR organizations are supported?

Which OTR organizations are supported?+
PILOT generates reports in standard CSV/Excel format compatible with all OTRs in Romania: GreenPoint, Eco-Rom Ambalaje, Green Ambalaje, Environ, and others.

How long does EPR module implementation take?

How long does EPR module implementation take?+
If you're already using PILOT, activating the EPR module takes 1-2 weeks to configure packaging data in the catalog. For new implementations, the EPR module is included in the standard 4-12 week timeline.

What happens during an AFM audit?

What happens during an AFM audit?+
Every gram reported in the system is linked to a specific transaction (invoice, production order, receipt). You can instantly generate a detailed report with all movements that justify the reported figures.

Does the system support other waste types (WEEE, batteries)?

Does the system support other waste types (WEEE, batteries)?+
Currently, the module focuses on packaging according to Law 249/2015. Support for WEEE and batteries is planned for future versions.

Can I use the EPR module without the rest of the PILOT platform?

Can I use the EPR module without the rest of the PILOT platform?+
The EPR module is integrated into the PILOT platform and uses data from other modules (PIM, invoicing, production). It's not available as a standalone product, but you can implement only the modules you need.
