What applies to you

Which EPR a Food & Beverage business must register for

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

The mistake we see

Counting only PET bottles and missing multi-layer/flexible packaging, which is the largest and hardest-to-recycle category.

What triggers it: PET bottles & preforms · Multi-layer pouches & wrappers · Rigid tubs, cups & caps

In practice

What EPR actually looks like for food and beverage companies

Beverage PET and Category II/III laminates dominate the footprint here. PET is comparatively recycler-friendly, but multi-layer snack and dairy packaging is where the targets bite — and where quantities are most often under-declared. Registration covers every branded SKU you place on the market, not just bottles.
