Plastic EPR.
A clearer way forward.
Practical support for plastic packaging responsibility—from understanding your packaging footprint and registration needs to recycler coordination, EPR records and return preparation.
Discuss your requirements
UNDERSTAND YOUR STARTING POINT
Your packaging footprint.
Your next steps, connected.
Plastic packaging EPR connects the businesses introducing packaging into the market with responsibility for its end-of-life management. The starting point is your role, the packaging you use and the quantities associated with your activities.
Recycle Veda helps turn that information into a workable service plan. We bring registration support, recycling coordination, budgeting and return preparation together, so your team can work from a clearer picture of the programme.
Understand the packaging in your portfolio.
The plastic packaging framework distinguishes five categories. A packaging description, its layers and its material composition matter when identifying the correct category.
Flexible plastic packaging
Flexible single-layer or all-plastic multilayer packaging, films and related formats.
Multilayer composite packaging
Packaging containing at least one plastic layer and at least one non-plastic layer.
Compostable plastics
The specified packaging, carry bags and commodities made from compostable plastic.
Biodegradable plastics
The specified packaging, carry bags and commodities made from biodegradable plastic.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
More clarity
before you begin.
Need to discuss a specific product, waste stream or business activity?
Ask our teamIs plastic EPR the same as waste collection?
No. Physical collection is one part of waste management. EPR can also involve registration, category-specific obligations, applicable reuse and recycled-content requirements, certificate-related records and reporting. The programme needs to connect these requirements rather than stop at collection.
Does every small business have exactly the same obligations?
No. Requirements depend on the entity’s role and the relevant provisions. Registration and EPR obligations should be assessed separately; business size alone is not a reliable basis for assuming a complete exemption.
How are plastic packaging categories identified?
Start with the packaging format and its material layers. An all-plastic flexible pouch differs from a composite pack containing plastic and a non-plastic layer. Compostable and biodegradable materials have separate categories and requirements.
Can you help if we are already registered?
Yes. Discuss support for data organisation, recycler coordination, EPR records, budgeting and return preparation. The scope can focus on the parts your team needs.
What determines the cost of support?
The relevant packaging categories, quantities, available records and services required shape the scope. We discuss these before proposing a category-specific budget.
