What are the fees for pEPR?
Under pEPR, businesses will now pay fees based on the type and amount of packaging they produce. Here’s the interesting part: the fees are modulated, meaning they change depending on how recyclable the packaging is.
- Recyclable packaging? Lower fees
- Unrecyclable packaging? Higher fees
This system encourages businesses to use more sustainable packaging and reduce waste wherever possible.
Illustrative base fees have been published and will be updated as more packaging data is reported.
