DEFRA has updated its ‘List of Large Producers’ that have submitted data for packaging EPR using the ‘Report Packaging Data’ Service. This is available here.
Report packaging data is part of the extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging
On the report packaging data service, an organisation is ‘large’ if it:
· has an annual turnover of more than £2 million
· is responsible for handling more than 50 tonnes of empty packaging or packaged goods in the UK
The new List is up to date as of 10th June 2024. This is after the legal deadline of 1st April 2024, and also after the ‘regulatory leeway’ afforded to companies on a one-off basis that expired on 31st May 2024.
There has been a massive jump in the numbers of companies submitting data since Mid-May, although worth noting that some companies have multiple listings e.g. WH Smith has 60+ listings).
