The Chamber of Commerce in Halle (Saale) has published a warning notice on 10 February 2020.

A fictitious company is currently fraudulently sending out requests to companies to pay €200 for registration with the German Packaging Register. The sender’s address is in Berlin.

In principle, the registration in the Packaging Register does not incur any costs. We urgently recommend companies not to respond to the letters and not to make any payments. Affected companies can also file a criminal complaint.
