What applies to you

Which EPR a Chemical business must register for

You put these on the market — so each of these applies. Start with your primary obligation.

Your primary obligation Plastic Packaging EPR

As a brand owner, this is where your EPR starts — registration, targets and returns, handled for you.

The mistake we see

Scoping EPR to retail-size packs and leaving out industrial containers — there is no exemption for B2B or industrial supply.

What triggers it: Packaged chemicals & specialties · Drums, jerry cans & IBCs · Bags, liners & films

In practice

What EPR actually looks like for chemical companies

Drums, jerry cans and IBCs are rigid (Category I) packaging, while bags, liners and films are flexible (Category II) — both count, because Plastic Packaging EPR has no exemption for B2B or industrial supply. Industrial containers are the usual gap in a chemical company’s registered quantity, and importers of packaged chemicals register for the packaging that arrives with each shipment.
