Wait… I have to think about packaging laws too?
Yes! To reduce the carbon footprint, companies must keep track of the waste they create, non-recyclable waste is sometimes associated with extra taxes.
Rules and databases vary from country to country, making this one perplexing to outsiders.
But don’t worry—we help you with that.
We’re happy to suggest packaging choices that can help reduce or avoid costs.

Navigating Packaging Regulations with AlpenCrowd
As an EU-based company with extensive shipping experience, we handle this process regularly and are registered in all the relevant databases. For most shipments, it’s a straightforward administrative step—with no extra fees. However, certain packaging choices can trigger charges in some countries, possibly requiring reimbursement and some additional paperwork.
When requesting a quote, it helps to include some details about your rewards. That way, we can flag any potential fees related to waste regulations early on.
Rule of thumb: one-time-use plastics often incur extra charges,
while paper and reusable packaging generally do not.
AlpenCrowd takes care of all required registrations and provides standard boxes or envelopes for the ‘outermost layer’—unless a custom solution is needed, which we handle on a case-by-case basis. This way, you can stay focused on your product—while we handle the rest.
