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 1stOctober 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.
