Impact of extended producer responsibility on packaging manufacturers
End-of-day debate on a single topic
This adjournment debate examines how extended producer responsibility (EPR) rules—which require packaging manufacturers to cover the cost of managing their products' end-of-life disposal—are affecting UK manufacturers. The debate will explore the financial and operational burden on packaging firms, the transition timelines, and whether support or adjustment is needed to help the sector adapt without compromising environmental goals.
Extended producer responsibility is a cornerstone of the government's circular economy and waste reduction strategy, but it reshapes costs across the packaging supply chain. The debate matters because manufacturing competitiveness depends partly on regulatory burden; how well firms adapt affects UK packaging production, prices for consumers, and whether environmental targets are met without unintended job losses or business closures.
