# How do I report packaging data?

If your business is affected, you should already be **reporting your packaging data**. The UK government (Defra) has provided a handy [**online tool**](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-to-report-packaging-data) to check if you’re obligated under the rules, plus a detailed [**reporting guide**](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-collect-your-packaging-data-for-extended-producer-responsibility) to help you stay compliant.

The regulations that sit behind the reporting have also been published (The Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2022) and we’ve highlighted some of the [key aspects in this summary document](https://oprl.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EPR-The-Packaging-Waste-Data-Reporting-England-Regulations-2022-Summary.pdf).
