This letter, addressed to Mary Creagh CBE MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, represents a unified call from over 80 senior leaders across the UK wine, spirits, and drinks industry. While expressing broad support for the principles behind Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the signatories raise serious concerns about the scheme’s readiness for its scheduled April 2025 launch. Citing unclear final fees, unresolved administrative elements, and significant planning uncertainty, particularly for SMEs and importers, the letter urges the government to delay the implementation until sufficient information and infrastructure are in place. The document underscores the industry’s willingness to engage constructively, provided it is afforded the time and clarity needed to transition effectively.
