What does registering for EPR involve?
- A forecasted filing, providing detailed estimates about the types and quantities of relevant products you’re selling
- Making initial payments related to the collection, recycling, and disposal of end-of-life products
What’s the process of registering for EPR?
1. Assess whether or not your products fall under EPR regulations, and depending on what the products are and where you’re selling them, which laws apply.
2. Register with the relevant regulatory authority or designated organisation who are responsible for overseeing EPR programmes.
3. Depending on how often you file, you submit regular reports detailing your activity. These will then be used to calculate a financial contribution to waste management authorities – which covers the cost of the activity performed in certain jurisdictions.
