What applies to you

Which EPR a Cosmetics business must register for

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

What triggers it: Rigid bottles, jars & pumps · Multi-layer sachets & tubes · Cartons & blister packs

In practice

What EPR actually looks like for cosmetics & personal-care companies

Cosmetics packaging is small-format and mixed-material — pumps, rigid jars, laminated tubes and sachets — which makes accurate categorisation across Cat I–IV the hard part. Individually small, these add up to significant registered quantities, and the multi-material formats attract the toughest recycling expectations.
