Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 28 March 2025.
John Glen
Conservative, Salisbury
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he plans to take to ensure that the Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme does not discourage investment in manufacturing.
Mary Creagh
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The scheme treats domestic manufacturing and import equally, with all packaging and packaged products, whether manufactured and supplied domestically or imported into UK, subject to the obligations in the Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations.
Similarly, any packaging or packaged goods manufactured in the UK and exported will not be in scope of the UK Regulations but may be in scope of the Extended Producer Responsibility regime in the country the packaging or packaged goods are being exported to.
