EPR Conference

EPR is changing fast. Get the clarity you need in one day.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is entering a critical phase of rollout across the UK, bringing major changes to how packaging producers are regulated, how costs are distributed, and how data is managed. The EPR Conference 2026 is designed to help organisations understand their obligations, prepare for compliance and gain clarity on the policy and operational changes ahead.

Bringing together policymakers, compliance experts, producers, recyclers, local authorities and solution providers, this one-day event will deliver essential updates, diverse viewpoints and practical strategies to support businesses through the next stages of EPR implementation.

Key themes for 2026:

  • Understanding the EPR System: a clear breakdown of regulatory requirements, stakeholder roles and the structure of the Scheme Administrator
  • Compliance, Costs and Enforcement: what producers can expect on data, fees, enforcement activity and reporting obligations
  • Perspectives Across the Value Chain: insight from waste operators, compliance schemes, producers and local authorities on preparing for EPR
  • Material-Specific Challenges: how individual streams such as plastics, fibre, metal and glass will be affected, and what changes are required
  • Case Studies and International Comparison: lessons from early adopters, European reforms and how businesses are preparing globally

Why attend:

  • Get the latest policy and regulatory updates from across government and enforcement
  • Understand how RAM and reporting requirements are landing in practice, not just in theory
  • Hear real-world lessons from compliance schemes preparing for 2027
  • Get to grips with the material-specific impacts on glass, plastics, fibre and metal packaging design
