== Description ==
EPR requires packaging producers to pay the full costs associated with their packaging throughout its lifecycle. It is designed to incentivise certain members of the supply chain to use easy to recycle materials for their packaging by making obligated companies responsible for the full net cost of the collection and recycling of the packaging waste they place onto the UK markets.

== Who must comply ==
UK organisations that import or supply packaging need to collect and report packaging data for a given year if all the following apply:

* Individual business, subsidiary or group.
* Annual turnover of £1 million or more, based on most recent annual accounts up to 7 April.
* Import or supply more than 25 tonnes of packaging to the UK market in the previous calendar year.
* Carry out any of the packaging activities.

== How to comply ==

# Understand if your organisation is legally required to comply, or if it is in your interest to voluntarily comply
# Register to the Report Packaging Portal and submit packaging data.
# Report packaging data and pay necessary fees mentioned above.
# Adopt sustainable practices by considering redesigning products and packaging to be more recyclable or use less packaging material to reduce costs and improve sustainability.
