A central solution for secure data exchange between Belgian EPRs and e-commerce platforms
An initiative for simplified compliance
- Round’s e-commerce platform is a national solution designed to facilitate the automated, secure and targeted exchange of administrative data between Belgian extended producer responsibility (EPR/PRO) organisations and online marketplaces.
- This system enables stakeholders to effectively comply with legal obligations regarding producer responsibility, as defined in the Vlarema (Flanders) and the Interregional Cooperation Agreement on EPR, while respecting data confidentiality.
Aim of the platform
- simplified compliance: instant verification of seller and producer affiliations.
- protection: no personal data is shared, all requests are anonymised.
- efficiency: a single connector via interface or API to automate verifications.
Strict security and access control
Access to Round’s e-commerce platform is strictly regulated:
- EPR’s can only manage their own data;
- platforms can only query the system to verify membership;
- no actor can download the entire database.
All connections are authenticated, encrypted and logged for auditing purposes, without compromising the data minimisation policy.
A tool for all players on the Belgian market
- For EPR’s: a uniform and secure channel for disseminating their data and controlling memberships.
- For online marketplaces: automated verification without handling sensitive data.
- For authorities: a transparent and interoperable solution supporting national compliance.
