The EPR is a legislative framework set to replace the current UK packaging waste regulations. As part of the EPR, producers are required to take full responsibility for the costs associated with managing the waste generated from their products’ packaging, starting from the moment these products enter the market until the end of their lifecycle. Due to the delay in starting the scheme, there won’t be any packaging fees to pay in 2024, but organisations must ensure that packaging data is reported for the preceding year, 2023. Here’s our top three tips on how to prepare 👇🏼 #EPR #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #Packaging #Business

With the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), there will be changes to fees. So, what costs should your business expect? There are new fees that are structured into two payment streams: those set by the Environmental Regulator and those set by the Scheme Administrator. EPR Fees from the Environmental Regulator: This payment stream covers costs associated with purchasing Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs). PRNs are purchased based on the amount of packaging waste an organisation is obligated to cover. Environment Agency fees are also part of this stream and include fees for registration, late submission, resubmission, and penalties for non-compliance. EPR Fees from the Scheme Administrator: This payment stream includes waste management fees, covering the costs of recycling packaging that might end up in household or public bins. The Scheme Administrator calculates this fee using data on household packaging and packaging commonly found in public bins. Businesses are directly invoiced for these costs.
