Print finish examples

UK Packaging EPR

Who is responsible for the EPR cost on your packaging?

GOV.UK explains that EPR:
“shifts the end-of-life costs of household packaging waste from taxpayers and local authorities to the producers who place packaging on the UK market”
Read the official EPR guidance on GOV.UK

UK Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) makes businesses responsible for the end-of-life costs of packaging they place on the UK market.

When Quickbox supplies empty packaging, Quickbox is normally responsible for the associated EPR costs.

If you are a large producer and this packaging will be filled or packed by you as part of your branded packaging, responsibility will sit with your organisation.

For smaller businesses and businesses that are not obligated producers, Quickbox remains responsible for the packaging we supply, so the applicable EPR charge remains on your order.

The charge shown by Quickbox contributes towards the costs we incur under the Government’s EPR scheme.

The charge may not apply if:

If either of these applies to you, complete our short EPR declaration on the sign up page and we will apply the correct EPR treatment to your account.

The charge helps Quickbox recover the costs we have to pay under the Government’s EPR scheme.
