Packaging: Recycling

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when his Department plans to publish non-illustrative fees for extended producer responsibility for packaging.

Answered by Mary Creagh

A third set of illustrative base fees were published in December 2024, based on improved data, to provide greater certainty to business. Producers are required to submit the next round of 2024 data by 1 April 2025. Following this and pending satisfactory regulatory checks, we intend to use this data to publish pEPR base fees by June 2025 for the current Operational Year. Invoices will be issued in October 2025.
