1. If we have a turnover between £1m-£2m, plus we are importing less that 50 tonnes of glass into the UK (approximately 120,000 bottles), are we liable for the costs associated with EPR?

You would need to check that you aren’t performing any other activity that would bring you into obligation. Its not just importing, but also, for example brand ownership, online sales, first UK owner, or filling packaging etc.  Please refer to the guidance. 

You may have to submit data if they are a ‘small producer’ i.e. they supply more than 25 tonnes of packaging.

Defra state Small organisations should:

  • collect your 2023 packaging data – you do not have to report it.
  • collect your 2024 data and submit it by 01 April 2025

There are other considerations to bear in mind, such as how turnover is calculated, deadlines, and group or subsidiary roles.
