The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024

These Regulations impose an obligation on businesses (referred to as producers) to pay the costs of dealing with household packaging waste and of the provision of public information about the disposal of packaging waste. In doing so it shifts the costs of managing household packaging waste from taxpayers and local authorities to those businesses who use and supply the packaging (applying the 'polluter pays’ principle). It also places obligations on producers to ensure that a proportion of the packaging they supply by material type (card, glass, plastic, metal, etc.) is recycled and to provide evidence of recycling to the regulator.
