The "Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007" (Packaging Regulations) were introduced in the UK to reduce the amount of packaging waste going to landfill by legally requiring businesses to pay towards the cost of recycling. You are legally required to comply with the Packaging Regulations if your business meets all 3 of the thresholds below: Be a UK registered business If you are a UK registered business or have a UK presence which means a sales office, site or even an employee working in the UK. Have an annual turnover above £2 million The second threshold is having a turnover above £2 million. This also applies to groups of companies in the UK, so you will need to add together the turnover of each company within your group. If this exceeds £2 million you have met the threshold. Handling more than 50 tonnes of packaging This includes packaging around imported raw materials, components and finished goods. You also need to incorporate any packaging around goods removed by your customers and all packaging purchased to add to goods. If you meet these three thresholds then you will need to comply, so give us a call on 024 7642 0080 and we will advise you of the next steps. Learn More Why choose us?
