New government regulations, called Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR), makes sure brands and retailers take responsibility for what happens to their packaging after it’s used. That means companies will now cover the costs of collecting, sorting, recycling, or disposing of their packaging waste.
This new system is replacing the old Packaging Waste Regulations and aims to create a fairer and more sustainable approach to dealing with packaging waste. The goal? Less waste, more recycling, and a healthier planet!
