Understanding EPR Packaging
Some of the products we supply may be considered packaging under UK EPR rules. Packaging under EPR is any product that is used to:
Contain a product – holds the product itself, e.g., a bag, pouch, bottle, or box.
Protect a product – keeps the product safe during storage or transport, e.g., bubble wrap, pallet wrap, sleeves.
Handle or deliver a product – helps move or ship goods, e.g., pallets, crates, trays used for shipping.
Present or display a product – used for marketing or showing the product, e.g., branded outer boxes, display trays.
Not included: Items that are not used to contain, protect, transport, or present goods (e.g., machinery, consumables like labels or additives) or packaging that never enters the supply chain.
Why this matters: Answering the questions in this questionnaire accurately ensures that we report only the products that count as EPR packaging, helping both your business and ours comply with the regulations.
