pEPR scheme administrator PackUK officially launches

After it was announced last week, the scheme administrator for the UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (pEPR) PackUK has officially launched.
PackUK, to be known as PecynUK in Wales, will set and raise pEPR fees paid by obligated producers, and make packaging waste disposal payments to local authorities in return for the delivery of collection and recycling services.

PackUK will also be responsible for public communications and information campaigns that encourage the public to dispose of packaging waste correctly and not litter.

Head of the UK pEPR Scheme Administrator Dr Margaret Bates said the need for a scheme that shifts the cost of managing household packaging waste to producers has “never been more critical”.
