EPR support

What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

Packaging EPR is a policy approach designed to increase the accountability of producers for the lifecycle of their packaging materials, from design to disposal. EPR aims to reduce environmental impacts by ensuring producers take responsibility for the collection, recycling and disposal of packaging waste.

Producers must adhere to specific recycling and recovery targets established by regulatory authorities and cover net costs associated with the management of packaging waste, including collection, sorting, and recycling.

What must you do to comply with EPR?

  • Review your current practices inline with regional mandatory and voluntary regulations
  • Collect and accurately report all relevant data
  • Pay fees calculated from your submission
  • Maintain awareness of evolving regulations to stay compliant
