Updated EPR Registration Fees for 2026

Under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, packaging data must be collected and submitted based on organisation size. Organisations who are obligated under EPR for packaging must register with the environmental register. These are:

• The Environment Agency (EA) in England
• Natural Resources Wales (NRW)
• Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA)
• Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)

Large producers must register for 2026 by October 2026. Smaller producers must register for 2026 by April 2026. There will be a registration fee each year, and the amount varies dependent on what kind of organisation you are:

• Larger organisations: £2,620
• Small organisations: £1,216

Registrations that occur after the deadline will incur an additional late fee of £332. There will be a different fee if you use a compliance scheme. This will be in addition to the fees charged by the compliance scheme, and it is recommended that you contact your compliance scheme for the details of their fees.

• Larger organisations: £1,685
• Small organisations: £631
