The Regulations

Packaging regulations require businesses that produce, use, or handle packaging materials to ensure compliance with laws aimed at reducing environmental impact. These businesses must follow obligations such as registering with an approved compliance scheme, accurately reporting the amount of packaging they handle, and meeting recycling and recovery targets.

This involves purchasing Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs) to offset their packaging waste and ensuring materials are disposed of or recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. Additionally, packaging must be designed to use fewer materials, be reusable or recyclable, and comply with specific labelling requirements to support sustainability goals.
