PPWR hit today; I'm starting a buying group for small sellers. Anyone in?

As of 12 August, if you place packaged goods in an EU country where you're not established, you need a registration there and an authorised representative established there. Per country. No single EU window.

The recycling fees themselves are tonnage based and small if you ship small. The killer is the flat admin cost: a few hundred euros per country per year whether you ship 40kg or 40 tonnes.

That part is a procurement problem, not a legal one. Representative firms quote very differently at 200 clients than at one. So I'm setting up a Verein in Austria to negotiate as a block and to publish a free, open database of what every member state actually requires: the registers, the fields, the deadlines. Nobody publishes that openly because the whole sector monetises the confusion.

To be straight about limits: this can't become your legal producer, and it can't do your registration for you (in Germany for example that's legally personal). It's a buying group and a shared knowledge base.

I'm looking for the first 50 or so to make the numbers work. If you're affected, reply or DM I want to hear which countries you ship to and what you've been quoted.

Thank you and good luck!

Google is nuking my site

Hey everyone! About 2.5 months ago, I published a site of mine and immediately signed up to Google Search Console to track stats. 2 weeks in and I was doing great; my site had over a thousand impressions per day and everything went fantastic - then it happened. On one day I had 1000, on the next 100, what changed? nothing.

Google then indexed some more of my pages and I had a slight rise to 200 impressions for a single day before it proceeded to go downhill even further.

Not only did Google stop indexing my pages, but it also started removing pages from being indexed. Why? Two reasons, either: "Discovered - currently not indexed" or: "Crawled - currently not indexed". The links to the pages haven't changed, the content has, according to everyone I could get on the site, greatly improved, and yet Google doesn't index any of my pages anymore, the number actively going further down and down.

This page isn't greatly important to me or my income, I'd just like to understand what I'm doing wrong, from my 14 years as a web developer; I haven't seen anything close to this happen.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there everyone!

I've been a programmer for most of my life (14 years now) and I would absolutely love to have a new mc server or any project for that matter to work on in my free time. I was thinking something in the direction of survival, but I'm open to writing custom minigames as I have done many times before.

Do you need help with server administration or custom mods/plugins? Send me a DM and I'll make sure to reply ASAP

Thanks!
