Learn about the UK’s new Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (pEPR) scheme, led by PackUK. Discover key dates, reporting requirements, and how the initiative will drive sustainability, boost recycling investment, and create thousands of jobs. Stay informed on packaging reforms and compliance deadlines.

Defra released the published version of their pEPR Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM). This marks a big step forward in the implementation of pEPR. Producers now have a framework to assess their packaging and understand how it impacts modulated fees.

We explain the mandatory recycling labelling requirements element of pEPR and give you the technical tools to create pEPR compliant recycling labels.

We’re proud to announce that Margaret Bates, Managing Director at OPRL, will be serving as Defra’s new Head of Scheme Administrator to establish the new pEPR scheme.
