Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to provide a monthly report to the Environment Agency with details of:

• the packaging waste you have received, recycled or exported
• the packaging waste recycling notes (PRNs) or packaging waste export recycling notes (PERNs) you have issued under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement in February and March 2026, if you meet the requirements in this RPS.

This regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
