Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations are expected to significantly impact businesses who supply packaged products into UK households, resulting in additional costs and changes in how companies manage their packaging.

 

The total cost of EPR is estimated to reach approximately £1.5 billion for those in scope of the regulation. The amount each company will need to spend will depend on the volume of packaging they handle and the types of packaging materials they use.

 

This combined with annual increases in Plastic Packaging Tax rates and other levies on packaging means that it has never been more important to understand the total cost of the packaging that you’re using.

 

In this guide, we explore EPR, presenting essential information to help you understand the details involved. We explain what EPR is, investigate the reasons behind its introduction, determine its relevance to your business and outline the actions you must take to ensure compliance with this new regulation.
