April( for the previous July-December) and October( for January-June).
This legislation is complex, requiring targeted and accurate data capture and reporting. Your numbers might be pulled manually and sit in spreadsheets – a process that’ s time-intensive, prone to error and easily de-prioritized amid other pressures.
But incorrect data is not only a compliance issue – it’ s costly and, at worst, could lead to reputational damage. That’ s where we come in. We understand how packaging moves through the system, the capability of the UK recycling and reprocessing infrastructure, and the changing landscape of legislation. Unlike a standalone compliance scheme partner, we manage waste streams and reprocess plastic, providing a practical understanding of how packaging decisions play out.
It’ s our job to help you report correctly, consistently and compliantly – turning a sizeable administrative burden into a manageable one. We’ ll also ensure you submit in-line with deadlines and clearly understand the requirements.
EPR might be complex, but it is driving clearer accountability across the value chain. Early action means you won’ t just avoid penalties but also make smarter packaging decisions that reduce costs over time – good news for your sustainability strategy and bottom line. ■
