Environmental responsibility is no longer just a choice—it’s a legal obligation. With the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the UK, businesses must rethink their approach to packaging. Designed to reduce waste and improve recyclability, EPR shifts the burden of recycling costs from taxpayers to producers, making manufacturers, importers, and brand owners accountable for the environmental impact of their packaging.
What does this mean for your business? Producers must track the packaging makeup of their products and pay EPR fees based on the amount of packaging used. This new regulation introduces a significant administrative challenge, but with the right tools, compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.
How Our ERP System Simplifies EPR Compliance
We understand that adapting to EPR regulations can feel overwhelming, so we’ve developed flexible ERP solutions tailored to different business needs. Whether you require basic reporting or fully integrated pricing and accruals, our system streamlines compliance, eliminating manual efforts and ensuring accuracy.
- Straightforward Reporting: Store the total amount of each waste packaging material per product and run reports that calculate the total weight of materials used within a given sales period.
- Advanced Calculation & Price Integration: Track packaging materials at the component level for each product, incorporating date-based price lists with EPR fees per tonne. This allows for seamless EPR fee calculations, price adjustments, and accurate accruals.
- Automated Price Adjustments & Invoicing: Use EPR fee data to dynamically adjust sales prices, reflect the costs in customer price lists, and accrue fees in nominal accounts. Plus, our system enables invoices to show these fees as separate values, ensuring complete transparency.
- Custom Exclusions for Flexibility: Need to exempt certain products, customers, or delivery addresses from EPR charges? Our ERP solution gives you the control to apply exemptions effortlessly.
With EPR regulations now a reality, businesses must take proactive steps to ensure compliance while maintaining operational efficiency. Our ERP system does the heavy lifting for you, automating calculations, simplifying reporting, and ensuring accuracy across the board.
