Amazon and eBay to report UK electronics sales under new recycling rules.

Amazon and eBay must now report electronics sold in the UK under new recycling rules, registering with the Environment Agency and reporting sales to calculate annual recycling costs. Online platforms will start paying these costs from January 2026. The funds will improve recycling of items collected by local authorities and drive investments in waste services and infrastructure. This aims to level the playing field for British businesses and support the government's ambitions to tackle the country's throwaway culture.
