10 Suggestions to reduce EPR fees.
This is my take on how it may be possible to reduce your reported tonnages and therefore fee liability for Extended Producer Responsibility. 10 Suggestions to reduce EPR fees.
EPR is a bit complex but there some very easy ways to find out if you reduce weights or materials you have to declare to DEFRA.
These are some ideas using value engineering principles, so EPR is VE's cousin. VE means analysing processess and improving situations by design methodology. Designers of boxes should be involved in the teams that looks into EPR fees for you. The team should include commercial and the account management too.
Don't forget, you should, and can find more efficent ways to prodcue the boxes in your operation too.
You can contact me anytime relating to these suggestions. I can also come and do an in-house workshop. They are quite useful to find solutions.
I use a few excel worksheets to compare and find a worthwhile solution to reducing fees etc. Sometimes just recording the findings into a sheets helps decide which option is best for you and your customer.
My worksheets are listed and you can get paid for ones from my ETSY shop. See the links.
