Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations

Extended Producer Responsibility regulations update

The National Packaging Waste Database now features an update on 2007 data reporting regulations, clarifying requirements for each nation and supplementing guidance on gov.uk.

The ‘EPR: Technical interpretations and agreed positions’ document, version one, is available online and will help further understanding of the new regulations.

It is an equivalent document to the current agreed positions document for the 2007 Packaging Regulations for the 2023 EPR Data Regulations. Both documents will run in parallel until the 2007 regulations have been repealed.

The 'EPR: technical interpretations and agreed positions' document details several decisions agreed across the four nations about packaging definitions. It also clarifies some of the requirements of the producer EPR Data Reporting Regulations for each nation.
