EPR Regulations
Streamlining Compliance: Our Expertise Manages Your EPR Obligations Effortlessly.
Simplifying Your Path to EPR Compliance
The UK has now joined all EU countries in having mandatory EPR schemes in place so that some of the responsibility for end of life environmental impacts and processes for packaging, and in some cases products, lies with the producer.
This means that brands and retailers selling products to consumers need to track, monitor and declare the volumes and types of packaging, and in some instances the products themselves, to the relevant bodies and pay a tax on these to help cover the cost of disposal and recycling of products and packaging at the end of their life.
“A Commitment to Environmental Stewardship and a Call for Streamlined Sustainability Across Borders”
Mandatory EPR schemes are essential for encouraging brands across various industries to consider the environmental impact of their packaging. This initiative leads to increased scrutiny of packaging amounts and types used.
However, these new requirements may disproportionately affect smaller companies. They often lack the resources to investigate, gather, and submit the necessary declarations across the different territories they operate in, each with its own set of regulations and relevant service providers.
