REGISTRATION FOR EPR DATA SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN
In my previous EPR mails to BPIF
Cartons members I have stressed that whilst payments under the EPR scheme have
been delayed by a year until October 2025 the requirements to submit data
remain in place. Also you will still be required to pay any PRN fees that
become due.
As of 16th August
2023 the new Report Packaging Data ( RPD) service became available for large
producers to register. You are a large producer if your turnover is over £2
million and you handle more than 50 tonnes of packaging in a year. I believe
that all BPIF Cartons Converter members will fall into this category.
Data for the period 1st
January 2023 ( or 1st March 2023) to 30th June 2023 must
be submitted by 1st October 2023. The functionality to submit your
data is due to be available in the middle of September. However, you must
register before being able to submit your data and I would suggest that you
register as soon as possible.
Defra have provided further details and bite sized “how to” guides. Please take the time to read this information to view the guides.
If you require further
assistance on EPR then please let me know or contact the BPIF EPR helpdesk at eprhelp@bpif.org.uk.
