To prepare businesses for the implementation of the packaging EPR scheme, all four UK administrations have now published the first in a series of illustrative base fees.

You can access the illustrative base fees on gov.uk. 

Defra ask that businesses read through the full information published on gov.uk.  

Join the EPR Fees webinar. Add this link to your calendar and join on Tuesday 20 August 2pm – 3pm to find out more 

This webinar will be an opportunity for stakeholders to ask in-depth questions, relay feedback, and receive details on further opportunities for engaging with Government on matters relating to the published EPR illustrative base fees.

Once you have read the guidance and if you still have questions, you can submit these through the mailbox. Defra have stated that they will aim to answer these within the webinar presentation.

This webinar is for those businesses that are obligated under EPR for packaging
