In Norway a producer never files anything with the state. You join an approved scheme for each stream you sell, report your figures to that scheme, and the scheme reports to the Norwegian Environment Agency for you.
So the best Norwegian EPR software is the one that gets those figures right and into the right scheme. This page ranks six providers on how much of that work each one carries, from keeping the packaging data to joining the schemes on your behalf.
Norway runs EPR through scheme membership instead of a state register
EPR in Norway covers eight product streams, from packaging, electronics and batteries to tyres, vehicles and fishing gear. For each of them the rules say the same thing.
A producer meets its duty by joining a producer responsibility company that Miljødirektoratet, the Norwegian Environment Agency, has approved.
There is no producer number to wait for and no portal for you to log in to. Your membership is the proof.
The producer in Norway is whoever imports or makes the goods
The producer is whoever imports or makes the product for the Norwegian market as a business. For packaging that means the company that fills, packs or imports the packaged goods.
There has been no minimum since 1 July 2025, when the old threshold of 1,000 kg per material was removed. Every producer joins, whatever its volume. Below 10 tonnes a year the scheme may let you report on simpler estimates.
One Norwegian scheme per stream from a short approved list
Each of the three core streams has its own short list of approved schemes, and you join one per stream.
| Stream | Approved schemes you can join |
|---|---|
| Packaging | Grønt Punkt Norge or Norsirk |
| Electronics | ERP Norway, Norsirk, Proretur, Recipo or Renas |
| Batteries | Batteriretur, ERP Norway, Norsirk or Renas |
Drinks in cans and bottles can go to the deposit system run by Infinitum instead, which meets the packaging duty for those containers. A battery built into an electronic product is covered by your electronics scheme, not a second one.
The Norwegian scheme does the reporting
You report what you placed on the market to your scheme, on the scheme's own schedule. The packaging scheme then reports every member's totals to the agency before 1 April each year, and the electronics schemes report every half year.
For electronics the agency keeps a register, Registeret Produsentansvar, but only scheme staff can log in to it. Your scheme enters you the moment you join.
Selling into Norway from abroad
Who joins depends on the stream and on who buys from you.
- Packaging or batteries sold to a Norwegian business. The Norwegian company that imports the goods is the producer and joins the scheme. Norway has no representative route for these two streams.
- Packaging or batteries shipped direct to Norwegian households. The rules do not say who carries the duty, so agree the route with the scheme before your first shipment.
- Electronics sold direct to Norwegian households. Your duties run through an authorised representative established in Norway and appointed in writing.
The full order of steps, stream by stream, is in our guide to registering for EPR in Norway.
Norway follows EU rules only once they join the EEA
Norway takes over EU waste law through the EEA Agreement, but only once each act has been added to it. The EU packaging regulation and the EU battery regulation are both still under review for the EEA, so neither applies in Norway yet.
That means the EU changes of 12 August 2026, including the EU Declaration of Conformity for packaging, do not reach Norway today. The Norwegian rules above are the ones that bind you.
Where software fits when the scheme files for you
With the filing done by the scheme, the work left on your side is the data. Every scheme wants your quantities, and the figures are yours to get right even when the scheme helps to produce them.
Norway adds a twist here. Several schemes pull your import data from Norwegian customs and work out your quantities from it, so many members never type a figure in. That saves time, but it also means checking a number you did not build.
The six providers fall into three lanes.
- The Norwegian schemes. Grønt Punkt Norge, Norsirk and Renas are approved schemes, so joining one of them is the legal step itself.
- Services that join the schemes for you. Eldris and Lizenzero sign you up from abroad and prepare your declarations.
- Software that keeps the data. Repax holds the product and packaging records your figures come from, for Norway and every other market.
Because Norway asks for one scheme per stream, the first question is how many of the three streams a provider handles itself. That is what the figure below shows.
Repax is not alone at the top. Norsirk is the one Norwegian scheme approved for all three streams, and Eldris joins all three for you. Repax covers all three as data, not as a scheme you join.
What we looked for in Norwegian EPR software
The bar was set by the Norwegian job rather than by feature lists, and every provider ranked here names Norway on its own site.
| What we looked for | Why it matters in Norway |
|---|---|
| Which streams it handles itself | Each stream needs its own approved scheme |
| Where your figures come from | Schemes may work out your quantities from customs data, but the figures stay your responsibility |
| Whether it can act for a seller abroad | Electronics sold direct to Norwegian households need a representative established in Norway |
| Whether it reaches beyond Norway | Most companies selling into Norway also report in EU markets with different rules |
| What it publishes about price | Scheme fees are paid per kilo or per item, so the provider's own price is the part you compare |
The best Norwegian EPR software ranked
Six providers, ordered by how well each handles the Norwegian job. The first is our own, and we have tried to be straight about where it stops.
1. Repax
Repax is a product-data platform first, which fits a country where every scheme asks for your quantities and some of them estimate the quantities for you.
Core keeps one record per product and per component, with material, weight and how the parts come apart. It pulls your sales in through integrations or order imports and builds the quantities each report asks for.
For Norway that gives you packaging weights by material, ready for your scheme's form, and a figure of your own to set against any number a scheme works out from customs data. The same record also feeds every EU market you sell into.
Try Repax Core for free - no card required Describe your products once and Core builds the report each market and scheme expects. Try it freeRepax is our own product, so we lead with it, and we have flagged where each rival fits better. Core is not a Norwegian scheme, so you still join one for each stream, and it does not file for you.
The Core dashboard below shows reporting totals and the mass placed on the market so far this year across your active markets.
If you would rather hand the registrations over, Repax Comply registers you, files your reports and arranges an authorised representative where one is required, under a power of attorney.
Comply is built around EU packaging, electronics and batteries, and its page does not list Norway, so check Norwegian coverage with the team before you count on it.
- Best for a producer that wants one product record behind its Norwegian scheme reports and every other market it sells into.
- What it does for a Norwegian report turns component-level records into packaging weights by material and quantities per stream.
- Streams in Norway packaging, electronics and batteries, as data.
- Pricing a free tier, then Growth at €29 a month. Comply starts at €390 a year per country and stream, plus a one-off registration fee from €190.
- Watch-out you still join an approved scheme for each stream, and the scheme sends the invoice.
2. Grønt Punkt Norge
Grønt Punkt Norge is the packaging scheme run on behalf of six material companies, from plastic to glass and wood. By its own count it has about 5,700 member companies.
Members report on its Min side portal, in kilos or pieces per material. The schedule depends on your size, every two months or once a year, and the deadline is the 22nd of the month after each period.
By agreement, an importer can have the packaging on its imported goods worked out and reported automatically from monthly customs data. Grønt Punkt Norge is clear that the company is still responsible for the figures being right.
Members also get a free recyclability calculator, which grades a pack from A to F and is aligned with the RecyClass method.
- Best for a Norwegian company that fills, packs or imports packaged goods.
- What it does for a Norwegian report takes your packaging report on Min side, or works it out from customs data by agreement, and reports to the agency for you.
- Streams in Norway packaging. Electronics and batteries can be added through a partner agreement, Renas among them.
- Pricing a public fee table per material, for example NOK 6.00 a kilo for household plastic packaging (as of October 2026). Small members can take a simplified membership at a fixed yearly price, which is not published.
- Watch-out the site is mainly in Norwegian. A company abroad can only report for its Norwegian customers in special cases, by arrangement with the scheme.
3. Norsirk
Norsirk is an Oslo scheme owned by electronics and technology trade bodies, and it is the only scheme in Norway approved for all three core streams, packaging, electronics and batteries.
Customers see their statistics and reports in the Norsirkportalen portal, and Norsirk reports to the authorities on their behalf. For packaging and batteries, a customer does not normally report quantities itself, though it can if it has full control of its own figures.
Norsirk also acts as authorised representative for a number of international customers. Since June 2025 it has offered producer responsibility across the Nordic countries together with four partner schemes.
- Best for a company selling packaging, electronics and batteries into Norway that wants one scheme for all three.
- What it does for a Norwegian report carries your membership in all three streams and reports to the authorities for you.
- Streams in Norway packaging, electronics and batteries.
- Pricing no published price. The fee list sits in its customer portal, and non-customers ask for it.
- Watch-out in Norway a representative only matters for electronics sold direct to households, so check which of your streams actually need one before you pay for it.
4. Renas
Renas is an Oslo scheme for electronics and batteries, owned by two electrical industry associations. In May 2026 it took over all the shares in Batteriretur, one of the battery schemes.
Renas does most of the counting for you. It takes members' import data from Norwegian customs and statistics, works out the fee, and posts the figures on its Min Side portal every month for the member to review.
Companies that make products in Norway declare that production themselves on Min Side, and the fee is collected every other month. Renas also offers to act as the authorised representative a seller abroad needs for electronics sold direct to Norwegian households.
- Best for an importer of electronics or batteries that would rather not report quantities at all.
- What it does for a Norwegian report works out your quantities from customs import data and puts them on Min Side for you to check.
- Streams in Norway electronics and batteries. Packaging is an add-on that gives you full Grønt Punkt Norge membership.
- Pricing no published price list.
- Watch-out if you want to report your packaging yourself rather than from import data, the membership has to be direct with Grønt Punkt Norge.
5. Eldris
Eldris is an EPR registration service run by EldrisAi, a company based in Tallinn, Estonia, with a dedicated Norway page and a published price.
Its Norway service joins you to Grønt Punkt Norge for packaging and, in its bundle, to a battery scheme and an electronics scheme. Eldris prepares your Norwegian declarations from your sales data, files them with your schemes and confirms receipt.
Packaging can be bought on its own. Electronics and batteries are sold only inside a bundle with packaging.
- Best for a seller abroad that wants its Norwegian scheme memberships and declarations handled for a fixed yearly price.
- What it does for a Norwegian report joins you to the schemes and files your declarations with them.
- Streams in Norway packaging alone, or packaging, electronics and batteries together.
- Pricing £355 a year for packaging alone, or £900 a year for the bundle with electronics and batteries, with scheme fees passed on at cost.
- Watch-out prices are in pounds, and the page does not name its electronics scheme. It also says sellers outside the EEA need a Norwegian representative, so check which of your streams really need one.
6. Lizenzero
Lizenzero is the packaging compliance service of Interzero, based in Cologne, and Norway is one of the 31 countries where it registers packaging.
It takes care of the registration once you have sent your details, coordinates with the local schemes and reports your volumes. One contact covers every country you book.
- Best for an online seller that needs Norwegian packaging covered alongside several EU countries, at a flat price.
- What it does for a Norwegian report registers your packaging and reports your volumes to the local scheme.
- Streams in Norway packaging only.
- Pricing €299 per country plus the schemes' own fees, with a discount from three countries. The site does not say whether the €299 is per year.
- Watch-out there is no Norway page, and the site does not say which Norwegian scheme it uses.
Matching a provider to how you sell into Norway
Norway splits buyers less by size than by where they are based and which streams they sell. Five situations cover most of it.
- You are a Norwegian company with packaging only. Join Grønt Punkt Norge directly, and use Repax if you want your own packaging weights behind the report.
- You sell packaging, electronics and batteries. Norsirk covers all three as one scheme, and Renas plus its packaging add-on is the other route.
- You import electronics and want no reporting. Renas works your figures out from customs data, and you review them on Min Side.
- You sell direct to Norwegian households from abroad. Start with the representative for electronics. Renas and Norsirk both offer one, and Eldris joins the schemes for you.
- You sell to Norwegian businesses only. Your Norwegian buyer is the producer and joins the scheme, so your job is giving it accurate packaging data per product.

Frequently asked questions about Norwegian EPR software
Below are the six questions producers ask most often about Norwegian EPR software.
What is the best EPR software for Norway?
Repax, our own product, for one product record behind your Norwegian reports and every EU market. Grønt Punkt Norge is the natural packaging scheme for a Norwegian company, and Norsirk covers all three core streams in one membership.
Do I register with the state for EPR in Norway?
No. You join an approved scheme for each stream, and the scheme reports to the Norwegian Environment Agency for you. For electronics your scheme enters you in the agency's register, and producers cannot log in to it themselves.
Is there a minimum amount of packaging before EPR applies in Norway?
No, not since 1 July 2025, when the threshold of 1,000 kg per material was removed. Every producer joins a scheme, and below 10 tonnes a year the scheme may accept simpler estimates.
Does the EU packaging regulation apply in Norway?
Not yet. Norway follows EU rules through the EEA Agreement, and the EU packaging regulation is still under review for it. Until it is added, Norway's own waste regulations set the packaging rules.
Do I need a Norwegian authorised representative?
Only for electronics sold direct to Norwegian households from abroad. Packaging and batteries have no representative route, and when you sell to a Norwegian business, that business is the producer and joins the scheme.
Is there free EPR software for Norway?
Repax has a free tier for product and packaging data. Grønt Punkt Norge members get its recyclability calculator free, but every producer pays its scheme's fees per kilo or per item.
