Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging is a policy tool that went into effect on 1st
January 2023. It significantly increases producer’s responsibility for the packaging they place on the
UK market at the end of its life and replaces previous producer responsibility regulations.

The goal is to encourage the use of fewer and more easily recyclable packaging materials, to
ensure that as much packaging material as possible is recycled, and to raise sufficient
funding to cover the cost of collecting and recycling packaging material when it becomes
waste.

This online clinic will cover the points below:
– Who is affected?
– Terminology (how it translates to the chemical supply chain)
– Data reporting obligations.
