It is also important to point out that UK fees may be higher because of the full inclusion of the costs of managing waste not being disposed of by consumers in recycling bills, something which other countries do not cover fully through their pEPR schemes. Furthermore, some countries’ fees are designed to recoup only a proportion of the costs of collection and recovery and all associated costs, while the UK’s are designed to recoup 100% of costs in order to have an efficient and effective system. We will continue to work closely with businesses on the implementation of this programme.
