Report packaging data
Sign in or create an account so that your organisation can report packaging data and meet its obligations under extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging.
Under EPR for packaging, organisations that supply or import packaging or packaged goods may need to report their packaging data. To do this, you need to create an account on the ‘Report packaging data’ service.
Compliance schemes also need to create an account.
What you can do in your account
You can use your account to:
-
register with the environmental regulators if you choose to register directly
