A comprehensive new study by Aquapak Polymers Ltd, ‘FMCG flexible packaging: accelerating the move from plastic to paper’, based on research with 100 UK packaging experts responsible for packaging R&D, technology, design and sustainability for FMCG brands, reveals that the majority (92%) plan to stop using plastic in their consumer packaging altogether. The report, launched today at the Rethinking Materials Innovation and Investment Summit in London, shows that paper and paperboard are the replacement materials of choice, followed by new polymers, bioplastics, and multi-materials. https://lnkd.in/e6nskvCB

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging is a policy approach that holds manufacturers more responsible for the packaging they use and its lifecycle. The purpose is to promote the use of less and easily recyclable materials and ensure that those materials are recycled after use. To date, six states have passed EPR packaging bills: California, Colorado, Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, and Maryland. Most packaging EPR programs require manufacturers to join a collective producer responsibility organization and comply with set standards for packaging in a given state. As more states look to adopt laws that increase producer responsibility for packaging, it is critical for your business to understand the evolving requirements and ensure compliance. Join PeopleForBikes' informative webinar on Wednesday, July 31, at 12 p.m. MT to learn from industry experts about these new laws and how they may affect your business.

UK Update the Packaging Waste Regulation Since 1 April, The Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/359) entered into force. The Regulations amend the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2023 (S.I. 2023/219) (the “principal Regulations”) to revise the definition of household packaging, and clarify the division of responsibilities between brand owners, packers/fillers, importers/ first UK owners/distributors and to require the Environment Agency to publish a list of large producers.

♻️ Packaging Waste Recovery Notes (#PRN) or Packaging Waste Export Recovery Notes (#PERN) were introduced in the 2007 Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations. Packaging producers with annual turnover over £2m and handle more than 50 tonnes of packaging per year must purchase these notes, issued by accredited recycling processors or exporters. This creates a market-based system where the price of PRNs fluctuate based on supply and demand. 💬 As the previously mentioned reforms on Extended Producer Responsibility (#EPR) continues, this arrangement may be changed in the future.

📣 News flash for #packaging producers! Mandatory EPR labelling provisions have now been delayed. It was previously understood all primary and shipment packaging, including flexibles and soft plastics, should bear OPRL Limited’s recycling labels by April 2027. Defra have announced today however that they have removed text around labelling provisions from the draft #EPR statutory instrument (SI) that’s due to be passed by the end of the year, ahead of 2025. This is to allow the SI to pass and prevent further delays to the wider EPR regulations. Robbie S., Ecosurety Policy and Innovation Director, commented:  "While it is disappointing that mandatory labelling won't come in as anticipated, it is pleasing to see the Government are removing barriers that would stop legislation being laid next month. For the EU, this issue was a major sticking point and it is vital that the law passes and that the new system goes live in 2025."   "We believe that packaging producers will continue the trend of labelling their products to help citizens know if it can be recycled or not, on a voluntary basis. Eventually, labelling does need to be mandated to create a level playing field between packaging producers and make it as simple as possible for citizens. However, labelling is just one small facet of the new law that after several years of design still has not passed. It would simply not be acceptable to wait for yet another year or more for the system, just because of this one issue."
