The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007

Made: 23-03-2007 | Laid: 10-06-2021 | Forced: 05-04-2007

Overview


These Regulations impose on producers the obligation to recover and recycle packaging waste, and related obligations, in order for the United Kingdom to attain the recovery and recycling targets set out in Council Directive 94/62/EC (the Packaging Directive) on packaging and packaging waste as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003, Council Directive 2004/12/EC and Council Directive 2005/20/EC.

The Regulations aim to minimise the impact of packaging waste on the environment by reducing the amount going to landfill. Member states are required to set up return, collection and recovery systems and to meet targets for the recovery and recycling of packaging waste, and are designed to make sure that industry takes full responsibility for packaging wastes produced as a result of their commercial activities.
