Obligation Calculations

Simplifying reporting obligations to ensure accurate compliance

Beyondly’s Obligation Calculations service provides a structured approach to identifying, quantifying, and tracking your organisation's reporting obligations to the Environment Agency (EA). Focused on providing reassurance and peace of mind for bi-annual data reporting, our bespoke service ensures accurate compliance reporting with EA and Defra regulatory requirements by translating complex requirements into clear, actionable steps.

Under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations, the full cost of managing household packaging waste will shift from local taxpayers and councils to packaging producers, in line with the 'polluter pays' principle. This places responsibility on producers to account for the environmental impact of their packaging, which involves calculating and fulfilling packaging data reporting obligations.

Our experienced Data Analysts will handle and determine your organisation's obligations and produce a written methodology document outlining the process taken to meet EA commitments. As a UK registered compliance scheme, we will also carry out checks on the data to enable a compliant submission to the regulator on your behalf.

Keeping up with evolving EA and Defra guidance can be a challenge for organisations who are obligated to report their packaging data under EPR. There is often uncertainty around their UK packaging obligation calculation - what data needs to be submitted and how due to internal teams lacking the time or skills to interpret complex regulations.

Data inaccuracy and inconsistency can lead to over- or under-payment of fees as well as missed opportunities for packaging reduction/improvements, cost savings, and operational efficiencies. 

Your solution & the benefits

Our EPR Obligation Calculation service delivers accurate, compliant reporting through a clear, structured approach to reporting obligations. We get to know your organisation, its packaging activities, and regulatory scope to ensure a bespoke process from the outset.

  1. Develop a calculation model based on your data, giving you the opportunity to review and provide feedback. Any necessary adjustments are made collaboratively.
  2. Deliver a clear, finalised obligation report aligned with EA, Defra and Pack UK requirements – ready for accurate submission.
