Why is this happening?
Packaging obligations can follow your products across borders.
Extended Producer Responsibility—usually shortened to EPR—is the principle that businesses placing packaging or products on a market help fund their collection and recycling.
A UK business selling to customers in EU countries may acquire obligations there, even without an EU office. The exact position depends on what you sell, how it is packaged, where it goes and how you sell it.
This is general information, not legal advice. We’ll help you identify the questions that need answering.
Why ERP-EU?
Don’t pay for compliance
you don’t need.
For smaller exporters, fixed registration and representation costs can make some markets uneconomic. We aim to identify the likely requirements first, then help find an appropriate cost-effective route through specialist providers.
- Start with your actual footprintCountries, channels, volumes and packaging.
- Avoid one-size-fits-all packagesFocus on the markets that matter to your business.
- Connect with appropriate specialistsWe’re building a network of European EPR partners.

Compliance should protect your access to EU markets—not quietly wipe out the margin.
