The UK Government and PackUK have published official guidance on “Extended producer responsibility for packaging: notice of liability” (23 March 2026), explaining how producers are formally notified of their statutory obligations under the UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme.

Notices of liability are the primary mechanism for enforcing EPR obligations and ensure producers understand the waste disposal fees they must pay for packaging placed on the UK market.

UKFT supports members with their international EPR obligations and provides practical guidance through webinars, guides and resources. The UKFT Guide to the UK Packaging Scheme, UKFT Global Textile EPR Guide and UKFT Global Packaging EPR Guide are available to members from compliance@ukft.org.
