Packaging Waste Regulation Manager


the problem


The government has challenged retailers to reduce their carbon footprint. To meet legislation, they are required to monitor their packaging waste levels and provide evidence to regulators.

 

Retailers therefore need detailed and accurate information regarding the packaging used for their stock.This data is often required within short time frames and unfortunately for their suppliers, the manual collation of paper records can be time consuming and susceptible to error.

 

Packaging and Waste Regulation

 

 

the solution


Integreater’s Packaging Waste Regulation Manager has been designed to allow processors to systematically track the packaging they supply to their retail clients. The programme uses electronic data management to automate the analysis, collation and distribution of all necessary information.

 

the result


Retailers are able to comply with legislation and suppliers benefit from a reduced carbon footprint.

As the environment is an issue which is set to grow in importance, Integreater® allows processors to demonstrate that they are prepared to meet any future challenges with ease. It also gives retailers the reassurance that suppliers are investing in their relationship. This is particularly important for businesses operating in such a highly competitive sector.

Legislation

If your business handles more than 50 tonnes of packaging a year and has a turnover in excess of

£2 million, you will need to comply with the Producer Responsibility Obligations. According to this legislation, you are required to:

 

• register with your environmental regulator (either directly, or through a producer compliance scheme)
• pay for the recovery and recycling of packaging waste

• provide evidence to your environmental regulator. This must be documented via electronic packaging recovery notes (ePRNs) and packaging export recovery notes (ePERNs)

 

If your main business activity is selling packaging or packaged goods, you must provide information to your customers about reusing, recovering and recycling packaging, as well as the collection facilities that are available to them.

 

*The above is not a definitive interpretation of the law, which only the courts can provide. It is the responsibility of the individual business to ensure compliance with the law. For further information, please refer to www.netregs.gov.uk.
