Simple, Transparent Pricing

You are an obligated producer if your business has an annual turnover of £1 million or more AND handles 25 or more tonnes of packaging per year. Both thresholds must be met. Obligated activities include supplying packaged goods under your own brand, placing goods into packaging, importing products in packaging, owning an online marketplace, and hiring or loaning reusable packaging. Charities are exempt from EPR obligations regardless of their turnover or packaging volumes. Full details are available in DEFRA's official EPR guidance. Read our complete guide to packaging EPR for full details, or use our free compliance checker to find out in 60 seconds.

Small producers have a turnover between £1 million and £2 million AND handle more than 25 tonnes of packaging, OR have a turnover above £1 million AND handle between 25 and 50 tonnes. They report annually, with full-year data due by 1 April. Large producers have a turnover of £2 million or more AND handle more than 50 tonnes of packaging. They report every 6 months — H1 data (Jan-Jun) due by 1 October, H2 data (Jul-Dec) due by 1 April. See our detailed comparison guide for worked examples.

The Environment Agency has enforcement powers including warning letters for minor breaches, compliance notices requiring corrective action, civil penalties for repeated non-compliance, variable monetary penalties for significant offences, and criminal prosecution in the most severe cases (which can result in unlimited fines). Enforcement actions are published, which can also cause reputational damage. Read our full guide to EPR penalties for details.

You submit your packaging data directly to DEFRA via the Report Packaging Data (RPD) portal. The scheme is administered by PackUK, who collects data and fees from obligated producers. You do not need a separate compliance scheme, but our platform generates RPD-compatible reports that you can export and upload directly — eliminating formatting errors and rejected submissions. See our RPD CSV format guide for details on the submission format.

Hiring a compliance consultant typically costs £2,000-£10,000+ per year. Doing it manually with spreadsheets risks errors, missed deadlines, and rejected DEFRA submissions. Our platform starts at just £29/month — a fraction of the cost, with none of the risk. EPR fees themselves are charged per tonne of packaging and vary by material — from £192/tonne for glass to £461/tonne for fibre-based composite in 2025-2026. See our complete fee breakdown by material and fee calculation guide.
