Obligated businesses must submit 2024 packaging data by 1 April 2025 under new extended producer responsibility for packaging (pEPR) scheme.
Under legislation which came into force on 1 January 2024, large organisations must submit their July-December 2024 data by 1 April.
Small organisations must submit their January-December 2024 data in one annual submission by 1 April.
In addition, all obligated organisations, large and small, must also register with their environmental regulator by the same date. Guidance on how to register can be found on the GOV.UK website.
To check whether businesses need to report packaging data, they should visit EPR: who is affected and what to do and, if necessary, follow the online instructions to access the new Report Packaging Data service.
