EPR Fee Structure
Understanding EPR Fees
Under South Africa's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations, producers are
required to contribute fees based on the quantity and type of products placed on the market.
These fees are not a penalty, but a legislated mechanism that ensures producers take
responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products.
R2E2's EPR fee is R1.65 per kilogram of product placed on the South African market.
Where fee modulation is applicable, the R1.65/kg rate serves as the base fee from which
the applicable modulated EPR fee is calculated, taking into account factors such
as material recyclability and non-recyclability.

EPR fees and fee modulation to your products.
R2E2 Fee Structure Breakdown
Modulated & Eco-Modulated Fees
Under South Africa's EPR framework, fees are not fixed for all products- they can be
modulated based on product design and environmental performance.
This means that producers who design products that are easier to recycle, longer lasting,
repairable, or free of hazardous substances may qualify for reduced EPR fees.
Why it Matters
- Encourages producers to adopt eco-design principles.
- Rewards environmentally friendlier product choices.
- Drives innovation towards materials and designs that fit a circular economy.
By linking fee structures to recyclability, reparability, and environmentally safer materials,
modulated and eco-modulated fees ensure that compliance costs are
fair, transparent, and incentivise sustainable design with reduced environmental impact
.
