Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy where producers are responsible for the treatment and disposal of post-consumer products, covering the full lifecycle of packaging materials.
Businesses that manufacture, import, or distribute packaged goods in the UK must comply with EPR regulations, including e-commerce sellers, retailers, manufacturers, and importers handling significant packaging volumes.
PRNs (Packaging Recovery Notes) prove packaging waste has been recycled in the UK, while PERNs (Packaging Export Recovery Notes) prove it has been exported for recycling. Both demonstrate compliance with EPR obligations.
Remedy EPR software automates compliance by tracking packaging data, generating reports, and keeping you audit-ready. It integrates with existing systems and provides insights to optimise packaging while staying compliant.
Non-compliance can lead to fines, legal action, and reputational damage. The Environment Agency actively audits and enforces EPR compliance, so staying compliant is crucial to avoid risks.
