Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an established policy approach adopted by many countries around the world, across a broad range of products and materials. It gives producers an incentive to make better, more sustainable decisions at the product design stage including decisions that make it easier for products to be re-used or recycled at their end of life. It also places the financial cost of managing products once they reach end of life on producers.
To support industry with structuring packaging data for submission we have released an EPR Data Specification. This key guidance includes information about the different types of data you need to submit and the codes that you need to use.
Please do take the time to read the Data Specification on GOV.UK
