EPR self-assessment tool
Are you obligated under the new EPR packaging waste regulations?
Use the self-assessment tool below to work out what your obligations are likely to be under future Extended Producer Responsibility, Deposit Return Schemes and also under the current Plastic Packaging Tax (which came into force April 2022). Scroll further for details on how to contact ecoveritas for help with compliance.
Please note, this tool does not include the cost of fees as these will not be determined by Defra until 2024
Remember, if you are a retailer, you will be selling things in packaging from your stores, even if they are not your own branded items
Under EPR, if you are above the lower threshold you will still be required to report on this packaging.
Any paper or plastic bags you sell to customers to take away also count as sales packaging, as will any packaging you send direct through online shopping.
