PackUK has published the 2025 base fees for the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) scheme, ahead of the first invoices in October 2025.
Nearly all fees have reduced compared with the illustrative base fees published in December, with glass down by 20 per cent.
The 2025 base fees are calculated using packaging tonnages reported by producers for 2024 and local authority waste management costs. The methodology has been rigorously tested with stakeholders including producers, compliance schemes, and local authorities.
Alongside the confirmed base fees, PackUK has also published the Modulation Policy Statement, which outlines how fees will be adjusted from 2026 onwards to incentivise the use of more recyclable packaging.
Producers can access further guidance on the gov.uk website to understand how these fees will affect their businesses.
PackUK will also be holding a Base Fees themed webinar on Thursday 10 July 2025 – You can sign-up to register your attendance.
