EPR for packaging: what you must do as a ‘small producer’

How small producers register and what they must record, report and pay under the extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging regulations.

If your organisation works with packaging, you may need to register with the regulator, pay a fee and report data about the packaging.

‘Works with packaging’ means doing one of these things:
 

• supplying packaged goods to the UK market under your own brand   
• placing goods into packaging 
• importing products in packaging   
• selling empty packaging
• hiring or loaning reusable packaging
• running an online marketplace

Throughout the GOV.UK guidance, all these activities are covered by ‘supplying packaging’.

The guidance is available here
