Councils may not receive their first payments under the new extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme until as late as December 2025, The MJ has learnt.

EPR is due to start in April 2025 but the scheme administrator, which will issue invoices and make the payments, cannot be formally put into existence until a statutory instrument has been laid.

Barbara Leach, a member of the EPR scheme administrator establishment team at the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, is understood to have told a local government meeting: ‘The scheme administrator will still be being established at that point [April 2025] and so we’ll be hoping to make payments absolutely as quickly as we can, but it could be towards the end of the year.

‘We show that as December there – that’s approximate timing – and then the fourth quarterly payments be made towards the end of the financial year.’
