The German Environment Agency (UBA) has extended the deadline for manufacturers to submit their 2024 quantity reports to 15 June 2025.

In 2025, UBA will waive the usual requirement for an external audit of these reports, though it may request verification on a case-by-case basis. Manufacturers are still required to pay the special levy on single-use plastic products sold in Germany for the first time in 2024.

Starting 2 May 2025, reports over 100 kg can be submitted without auditor confirmation via the DIVID platform. Public bodies seeking to claim funds are urged to wait for official registration confirmation before submitting claims.
