UK
The UK's extended producer responsibility scheme, charging producers modulated per-tonne fees for household packaging waste.
UK pEPR moves the full net cost of managing household packaging waste to producers. Obligated producers report packaging data, and fees are invoiced per tonne by material, adjusted by the Recyclability Assessment Methodology.
Reporting splits household and non-household packaging, and the household split drives the fee. Getting that split wrong is the single largest source of fee error in UK reporting, because non-household packaging does not attract the same charge.
Small producers face a reporting-only obligation below the fee threshold. That still requires the same underlying dataset, so the data work is not avoided.
The UK methodology that grades packaging red, amber or green and adjusts pEPR fees according to the grade.
A UK tax charged per tonne on plastic packaging containing less than 30 percent post-consumer recycled content.
