The Real Cost of Packaging Waste
20 Jul 2010 | Filed under: UncategorizedAs a result of talking to a client about their packaging costs I came across an article about another local company who fell foul of the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007. It was discovered during a routine check by The Environnment Agency that they had not registered under the regulations. These state that any company who have an annual turnover in excess of £2 million and handles more than 50 tonnes of packaging per annum must register with the Enviroment Agency or an approved compliance scheme. Each year, the company must also provide evidence of payment for recovery and recycling of a specified proportion of their packaging. The types of packaging covered by this legislation are wood, aluminium, steel, cardboard and plastic. And the Real Cost? This company was fined a total of £23,000 for not meeting the regulations!
