Deadline of 31 May 2024 for reporting packaging data under the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Packaging regulations

The way UK organisations responsible for packaging must carry out their recycling responsibilities has changed.

If you’re affected by extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging, you will need to report your packaging data.

Organisations obligated under the new EPR Regulations that they must report their 2023 packaging data to the regulator no later than 31 May 2024; beyond this date regulators may take enforcement action.

You need to collect and report packaging data if all the following apply:

·        you’re an individual business, subsidiary or group (but not a charity)

·        you have an annual turnover of £1 million or more (based on your most recent annual accounts)

·        you were responsible for more than 25 tonnes of packaging in 2022.

·        you carry out any of the packaging activities.
