Slovenia
Does Slovenian tyres EPR apply to you
Tyres EPR in Slovenia works differently from every other stream. Instead of registering in a producer list at ARSO or MOPE, you pay an environmental charge (okoljska dajatev) collected by the tax authority FURS and operate an individual or joint management plan for used-tyre collection and recovery.
The edge case that catches importers: if you buy tyres from outside Slovenia and place them on the market, you are subject to the FURS charge. The duty attaches to producers and importers, with no documented threshold or small-producer exemption.
The decree dates from 2009 (UL RS 63/09), with the producer-responsibility shift tracked by ARSO from 2006 to 2013.
Where the money goes in Slovenian tyre EPR
The tyre EPR system has two parallel cost layers. The environmental charge (okoljska dajatev) goes to FURS and is a tax-authority obligation. The management plan covers the operational costs of collecting, sorting and recovering used tyres.
No public per-tyre fee amount is available from official sources. The charge and plan costs depend on the volume and type of tyres you place on the market.
Your reporting duties in Slovenia
Producers and importers report to FURS as part of the environmental charge administration. Separately, the management plan requires reporting to MOPE on collection and recovery performance.
The exact reporting cadence and deadlines are not pinned to a public source. Confirm with FURS and your plan operator.
The dates ahead for tyres in Slovenia
There is no EU-level producer-responsibility directive specific to tyres. The Slovenian system runs on national law (UL RS 63/09) under the Waste Framework Directive umbrella. Any changes would come through national legislative action rather than an EU regulation.
