Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007

The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 require companies that manufacture, use, or sell packaged products in the UK to take responsibility for managing the waste created by their packaging. These companies must reduce packaging waste, promote recycling, and meet specific recycling targets set by law. They can do this by modifying packaging designs, buying recovery or recycling credits, or working with authorized schemes. The goal is to minimize environmental impact and ensure packaging waste is properly handled, encouraging businesses to produce more sustainable and recyclable packaging.
