Andrew McCaffery, chief strategy officer at Ecoveritas, explained: \u201cCompliance isn\u2019t a one-time event \u2013 it\u2019s an ongoing obligation that directly impacts financial planning and operational efficiency. Those who delay addressing their data accuracy may find themselves repeatedly overpaying and struggling with higher costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor many businesses, this isn\u2019t just about compliance \u2013 it\u2019s about financial survival long term.\u201d The largest retailers could see their packaging compliance costs range from \u00a340 million to \u00a3130 million annually. The regulations apply to businesses with an annual UK turnover exceeding \u00a31 million, a physical UK presence and those handling more than 25 tonnes of packaging each year.<\/p>\n<p>McCaffery continued: \u201cA single miscalculation on packaging weight could cost companies eye watering sums well into hundreds of thousands of pounds. A 20-gram discrepancy per product might not seem like much, but for a product selling 12 million units, that\u2019s 240 tonnes of material \u2013 equating to an extra \u00a3150,000 in fees for just one item.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/epr-uk-businesses-face-eye-watering-sums\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-689\/\">EPR: UK businesses face \u2018eye-watering sums\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18343,575,18344,579],"class_list":["post-138518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ecoveritas","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-packaging-data","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
