Yesterday the Environment Agency amended their Regulatory Position Statement (RPS) 330 for EPR.

Previously, the RPS related to producer obligations to collect and report data relating to nation of sale and self-managed organisational waste. Now it has been extended to cover paper and plastic bag data too.

This RPS delayed the introduction of self-managed organisational waste data collection until 1st January 2026 and reporting on or before 1 October 2026, and of nation of sale data collection until 1st January 2026 and reporting on or before 1 April 2027.

It now also delays the introduction of plastic and paper bags data collection until 1st January 2026 and reporting on or before 1 April 2027.

But don´t forget the small print “The Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action against you if you do not comply with these legal requirements provided that your activity meets the description set out in this RPS”.
