Somewhere in the next few weeks, every obligated dairy processor in Britain will receive a Notice of Liability for the second year of extended producer responsibility. It will be priced per tonne, per material, and this time it will be priced by how recyclable the packaging is.
The odd thing about this bill is the order in which the information has arrived. The penalty is published. The price is not.
Producers had until 1 September to resubmit their 2025 packaging data. PackUK locks the figures after that and issues the Notices. Confirmed year-two fees were expected in June and, as of the start of this month, had not been announced. What exists in the meantime is an illustrative table published in December, and a modulation policy that has been settled since June of last year.
