Why packaging?

Packaging is everywhere and plays an important role protecting and presenting goods. Innovative and sustainable packaging goes further, reducing environmental impact while retaining product quality.  

The UK Government are increasing pressure on business to reduce the environmental impact of packaging and increase recyclability, through packaging system reform. By prioritising sustainable packaging, businesses can gain efficiencies, reduce compliance costs, enhance relationships with consumers, and strengthen market position.

Prepare your packaging for EPR and minimise the impact of increased costs, by improving the recyclability of your packaging.

The UK Government are changing the packaging compliance system. The amount producers pay in compliance costs will vary, with harder to recycle packaging components being subject to a higher price from 2026 (Fee Modulation).

Beyondly's relationships with OPRL & Recoup enhance our service, supporting the work of our experts, to classify the recyclability of consumer packaging for products. Combining these insights, with our teams industry expertise, Beyondly has the ability to advise why an item is less recyclable and what can be done to modify the packaging. 

Changes to packaging takes time, requiring input across multiple departments, so Beyondly urge businesses to take action now and review their packaging recyclability.
