If packaging compliance isn’t on your radar yet, it needs to be. Regulations are tightening, obligations are growing, and businesses that aren’t prepared are going to feel it.
Here’s what you need to know.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
EPR is the UK’s packaging producer responsibility regime, and it represents a significant shift in the way packaging compliance works. Obligated businesses are now required to collect and report packaging data and contribute towards the costs of managing packaging waste. More reporting, more responsibility, and legislation that’s still evolving.
Understanding whether you’re obligated, what you need to report, and how to stay on top of the changes isn’t always straightforward. That’s where we come in. Our team can work through your specific situation and give you practical guidance, tailored to your business.
Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs)
PRNs – Packaging Recovery Notes – are evidence notes that demonstrate your packaging waste has been successfully recovered and recycled in the UK. If you’re an obligated producer, you need enough of them (and their export equivalent, PERNs) to meet your recycling obligations.
Prices can fluctuate significantly throughout the year, which makes planning ahead tricky. Whether you want guidance, hands-on support, or for us to manage the whole thing on your behalf, we’ve got it covered.
