Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirements to:
-
Assess the recyclability of household packaging supplied in the reporting period 1 January to 30 June 2025.
- Keep records of the recyclability assessments.
- Report the recyclability assessments to the Environment Agency on or before 1 October 2025.
The obligations described might change depending on whether the producer is a member of a compliance scheme or group registration (or both).
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if the producer, compliance scheme or holding company does not comply with these legal requirements.
This RPS does not apply to any other legal requirements under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024.
