Year 2 illustrative waste disposal fees: Extended producer responsibility for packaging

Under EPR for packaging, obligated large producers who supply or import packingpackaging in the UK are responsible for the costs of dealing with packaging waste.

The purpose of this document is to give industry early visibility of the likely waste disposal fees for Year 2 (2026 to 2027). They are likely to change as producers submit more data and compliance is monitored by regulators.  

Confirmed fees for Year 2 are expected to be published in June 2026.
