Extended Producer Responsibility is in place with an aim of putting greater responsibility onto businesses and how they manage their packaging waste. The result of putting EPR in place is businesses will bear a greater responsibility for what their packaging costs the environment, and how they offset the cost of recycling into the UK waste system, rather than concern on the way you are disposing of your waste the empasis is on the packaging you are handling as a business..
Key Points:
Who does this impact?
What about smaller businesses?
Those that are below the threshold are not required to register. However it is important that smaller businesses do monitor packaging usage and check annually their packaging waste.
If you are under the thresholds you will not need to register.
EPR is there to encourage businesses to lower their packaging waste as much as possible, and contribute to a more sustainable method of managing their waste.
