Obligation Checker

Compliance Made Clear

Not every business is obligated under EPR. Two thresholds determine whether you must report and pay fees.

Turnover
£1M+

Annual turnover of £1 million or more

Packaging
25T+

Handle 25+ tonnes of packaging per year

Obligated

If your business meets both thresholds, you are an obligated producer under the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2023. You must report your packaging data to DEFRA and pay EPR fees. Even if you are uncertain, it is your legal responsibility to check.

How It Works

Your EPR Journey

From checking your obligation to submitting your DEFRA report. Four steps, one platform.

1 Step 1

Check Obligation

Enter your turnover and packaging tonnage. We instantly tell you whether your business falls under EPR obligations and what category you are in — Large or Small producer.

2 Step 2

Enter Packaging Data

Log every packaging material you place on the UK market — type, weight, and DEFRA category. Import from CSV or use our guided forms with auto-validation.

3 Step 3

Calculate Fees

Our engine applies the latest DEFRA fee rates and recycling targets to your data, calculating your exact obligations and estimated fees by material type.

4 Step 4

Generate DEFRA Report

Download your report formatted exactly for the RPD system. Upload directly to DEFRA with confidence — no reformatting, no rejected submissions.
