UK PackUK Publishes First Producer Fee Modulation Policy Statement

PackUK has published its first Producer Fee Modulation Policy Statement for the UK Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) scheme. The policy establishes a clear 3-year framework that adjusts producer fees based on packaging recyclability, as assessed through the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM). This represents a significant step in incentivizing environmentally sustainable packaging design across the UK, with fees modulated to reward recyclable packaging and discourage hard-to-recycle materials.
