Latest Report Packaging Data (RPD) registration and submission windows open.
To support obligated producers with their data submission and compliance, a number of significant updates and new functionality to the EPR for packaging digital service are now live and available for use via the Report Packaging Data (RPD) portal. These updates provide producers with improved tools to meet regulatory requirements, prepare for upcoming data submissions, and gain clearer understanding and oversight of their obligations under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024.
The enhanced RPD digital portal offers producers a centralised and streamlined platform to manage all aspects of their pEPR compliance.
All obligated producers (including online marketplaces and compliance schemes acting on their behalf) are required to create an account on RPD, register their organisation and submit packaging data using the service. This includes organisations defined as both small and large under the pEPR regulations. Guidance on the classification of small and large organisations is available on GOV.UK.
The data reporting timelines for small and large producers vary. Large producers must submit their packaging data for the first half of 2025 (1 January to 30 June) by 1 October 2025. Small producers do not have a requirement to register and submit data by 1 October but must submit their packaging data for full year of 2025 (1 January to 31 December) by 1 April 2026.
