This event is your chance to meet with colleagues across the whole value chain and work together to co-design a short, medium and long-term approach to modulated fees under Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). 'Modulated fees' means fees which are adjusted compared with the base fee, the latter being reflected of local authority costs of managing it, where that adjustment is dependent on the environmental characteristics of the packaging.

We’ll start by sharing progress and then spend the rest of the afternoon creating a shared vision on:

the packaging that should be incentivised and disincentivised, now and in the future

the preferred approach and timescale for modulating materials and integrating modulation with labelling recyclability assessments

the way we can make progress while ensuring we don’t stifle innovation in new sustainable packaging

the desired speed of movement from recyclability being our main criterion for modulation into wider sustainability considerations

the preferred granularity of reporting – what will be needed for labelling recyclability assessments and for the Scheme Administrator to make decisions about modulation, and what would be supported by industry?

Please apply for the ticket type that most closely describes your organisation. If tickets have run out for your type of organisation, please don't apply for a different type as it will be declined. There will be other opportunities to engage.

Please review all the ticket types before choosing which one most closely fits your organisation type.

Only one application is allowed per organisation.

In case of query, please email CPREnquiries@defra.gov.uk and reference the modulated fees visioning event.
