PackUK
The organisation appointed as the Scheme Administrator for EPR for packaging in the UK, responsible for calculating and collecting fees from producers and distributing payments to local authorities.
PackUK is the body appointed to act as the Scheme Administrator for pEPR in the UK. It serves as the central hub for managing financial flows between the packaging industry and waste collection authorities.
PackUK's core functions:
- Setting and publishing annual fee rates for different packaging materials
- Invoicing obligated producers and their compliance schemes
- Making payments to local authorities based on actual collection costs
- Implementing fee modulation based on recyclability criteria
- Reporting on system performance and recycling outcomes
PackUK was established to ensure transparency and efficiency in the new EPR fee system. Producers interact with PackUK either directly or through their compliance scheme. The organisation works alongside the environmental regulators (EA, SEPA, NRW) who handle enforcement and registration.
