The UK’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations for packaging are now in effect, marking one of the most significant changes to packaging compliance in recent years. EPR shifts the full cost of managing packaging waste away from local authorities and places it with the businesses that produce and supply packaging.
For companies placing packaged goods on the UK market, this means new data-reporting obligations, increased financial responsibility for packaging materials, and a need for greater visibility across supply chains. The aim is to encourage more sustainable packaging choices and create a system where producers are accountable for the entire lifecycle of their packaging.
Our latest briefing outlines what these changes involve, how they may affect businesses across the outdoor leisure industry, and what to expect as the system evolves. It provides a straightforward overview to help members understand the regulations and their implications.
