ABOUT:
Packaging Producer Responsibility obligations and regulations have been in play in the United Kingdom (UK) since 2023, replacing the 2007 Regulations in 2025. Alongside this change is the introduction of further regulatory requirements around Deposit Return Schemes, and harmonised packaging collection for businesses and at kerbside.
.
Alison Appleby, Packaging Sustainability Specialist for Ecosurety, a UK packaging compliance scheme, joins the AIP to talk about the complex UK packaging regulatory landscape. Previously working at APCO, Alison brings a unique lens to the UK packaging landscape.
.
Alison will share detail on the following, highlighting similarities and differences with the Australian packaging landscape along the way:
- The UK Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations, including detail on the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) and eco-modulation of Waste Management Fees.
- Updates on Simpler Recycling regulations, with detail on upcoming kerbside collection requirements.
- Deposit Return Schemes and how they will operate throughout the UK.
- Additional regulations in the region which need to be considered for packaging design.
