About Plastics Audit and Reporting Ltd

Clear compliance. Defensible decisions. Reduced plastic costs.

Plastics Audit and Reporting Ltd is a UK-based specialist consultancy helping businesses understand, comply with, and optimise their obligations under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations.

We work with companies that place packaged products on the UK market and need clear, practical, and evidence-based support — without the complexity or cost of large corporate consultancies.

Our focus is simple: accurate reporting, reduced regulatory risk, and smarter packaging decisions backed by data.

Our mission

Our mission is to help businesses comply with plastic and packaging regulations confidently, while reducing unnecessary costs and environmental impact.

We believe that effective regulation should not be a barrier to business growth. With the right data, expertise, and guidance, EPR compliance can become an opportunity to:

  • Avoid penalties and reporting errors

  • Reduce plastic-related fees

  • Improve packaging efficiency

  • Make defensible, future-proof material choices

Why choose Plastics Audit and Reporting Ltd

  • Regulatory specialists — not generic sustainability consultants

We specialise specifically in plastic audits, EPR reporting, and packaging compliance. This means our advice is grounded in current UK regulation, not vague sustainability principles.

  • Data-led, defensible outcomes

Our recommendations are based on packaging data, material analysis, and life-cycle assessment (LCA) — giving you evidence you can rely on when reporting to regulators, retailers, or investors.

We understand the challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses without in-house compliance teams. Our services are clear, proportionate, and commercially realistic.
