Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?
EPR is a rule that says if you make, import, or sell products, you're also responsible for what happens to them after they're used.

That means you need to help manage the waste your products create, like packaging, electronics, or batteries. Instead of leaving it to local councils or customers, you take the lead in making sure your products are recycled, reused, or disposed of properly.

EPR is designed to:

  • Reduce waste
  • Encourage eco-friendly product design
  • Make recycling easier
  • Protect the environment


Governments across the UK and Europe are tightening EPR rules, and businesses of all sizes now need to comply. It can feel complicated, but that’s where Expandly comes in.


Expandly makes EPR simple, so you can stay compliant without the stress.

Extended Producer Responsibility

EPR: The Responsibility of Product Producers and Sellers

EPR shifts the responsibility for managing product and packaging waste from consumers and local authorities to you, the producer. That means:
  • Registering with national schemes
  • Reporting packaging and product data
  • Paying fees based on sustainability and volume
  • Meeting recycling targets

Whether you’re a manufacturer, importer, retailer, or e-commerce seller,
EPR applies to you.
