New regulations apply to all UK organisations that import or supply packaging. The regulations mean that these organisations may be responsible for the costs of dealing with packaging waste. This is called extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging.
This document presents the initial illustrative base fees for year 1 of EPR for packaging. It gives a likely fee range for each category of waste packaging material and explains how the ranges were calculated.
These illustrative fees are a first estimate, based on the best available evidence to date, and are not final figures. Government intends to publish refined figures for the illustrative base fees in September 2024.
