CONSULTATION ON THE UK DRAFT EPR REGULATIONS PUBLISHED

Defra have published a consultation on the draft Regulations which will implement Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging, as set out in the March 2022 Government Response.

The purpose of this consultation is to gather views on how the approach set out in Government’s consultation response of March 2022  has been reflected in the draft Regulations, and to receive feedback on the operability of the implementation arrangements.

It is being undertaken jointly by the UK Government, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland. The Regulations will apply UK-wide.

Defra would particularly appreciate views on the clarity with which these draft Regulations define the responsibilities of obligated producers, exporters, reprocessors, compliance schemes, local authorities and councils, the Scheme Administrator, and the regulators, identifying any ambiguities in the text that could be improved.

The questions are designed to be answered with reference to the consultation document; please view this document as you complete the online survey.  You do not need to answer all the questions; only the questions relevant to you/your organisation. The draft Regulations are also provided.

We encourage you to respond to this consultation. Your responses will help ensure an effective regulatory framework is put in place.

In the meantime, the BFFF will be reviewing the consultation, so please look out for regular updates in our newsletters and on our website.

This consultation will close at 23:59 on 9th October 2023 and can be found HERE
