What kind of packaging is included in pEPR?

The focus is on household packaging and shipment packaging – basically, all the materials that end up in a consumer’s hands. This includes things like:

• Boxes
• Wrappers
• Films
• Trays
• Delivery packaging

But don’t worry, if your packaging is strictly business-to-business (like wholesale packaging that never reaches consumers), then it’s not included in the new regulations.
