Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

Your local partner for all Extended Producer Responsibility requirements

Overview

ERP UK is an expert in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). If you have you been directly affected by the UK’s EPR reforms – we can help!

What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

Extended Producer Responsibility also known as EPR is an extension of the previous Producer Responsibility Regulations that govern waste electrical and electronic equipment, waste batteries and packaging waste. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has fundamentally transformed the landscape with respect to the Packaging Waste Regulations and will affect the WEEE and Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations soon as well.

Who needs to comply?

Your business has Extended Producer Responsibility obligations for packaging if:

EDIT TEXT HERE

Your business handles more than 25 tonnes of packaging in the UK and has a turnover of more than £1 million.

Non-compliance is an offence and enforcement action may be taken. You may even be required to make payments for previous years for non-compliance.

*There are companies that are not currently obligated that will also be affected. Check with us to be sure!

FAQs

If you are a producer under the Packaging Waste Regulations, WEEE Regulations and/or the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations, then you will be affected by EPR.

Some companies have been unaffected by the previous Packaging Waste Regulations, due to being below the higher thresholds of £2 million annual turnover and by placing less than 50 tonnes of packaging onto the UK market. Under EPR, many smaller companies will be affected for the first time.

*If you have not complied with the Packaging Waste Regulations before and believe that you will meet the new “Small Producer” thresholds (£1 million+ annual turnover and placing more than 25 tonnes of packaging onto the UK market), please contact us for further advice, help and support.

The impact of EPR for Packaging Regulations includes:

  1. A new “single point of compliance” for packaging, which completely transforms the previous approach of “shared producer responsibility” under the previous Packaging Waste Regulations.
  2. A new requirement to separate household packaging from non-household packaging.

Household packaging waste disposal costs are managed via a new body called the “Scheme Administrator,” which has sole authority with respect to household packaging waste disposal costs.

Non-household packaging waste costs will be captured via Packaging Compliance Schemes. Packaging obligations continue to be met via the PRN system.

Large Producers must report bi-annual packaging data for the first six months of the calendar year before the regulatory deadline of 1st October. Large Producers must also report the second six months of the calendar year before the regulatory deadline of 1st April. N.B. ERP UK’s Packaging Scheme deadline is earlier than the regulatory deadline. Small Producers must report annual packaging data before the regulatory deadline of 1st April.

Small and Large Producers will be required to additionally break down the UK packaging data that they supply into the four nations of the UK (i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).  N.B. Reporting Nation Data has been postponed until 2026.

Contact ERP UK’s experts by e-mailing ukcompliance@erp-recycling.org and they will take you through the process of understanding what you need to do next.

Compliance costs vary dramatically depending on whether your organisation (or UK Group of Companies) is a Small Producer or a Large Producer. Small Producers do not incur any costs of packaging recycling. Small Producers will only incur annual costs associated with either the Small Producer – Essential service or Small Producer – Essential Plus service.
Large Producers will incur annual registration fees and packaging recycling fees related to both the Household packaging and non-household packaging that is placed onto the UK market. Please note that the new Household Packaging Waste Disposal costs are significantly higher than the traditional PRN costs (which are still incurred by Large Producers) and are in addition to PRN costs. Please contact ERP UK’s experts by e-mailing ukcompliance@erp-recycling.org for more details regarding the costs of compliance.
