Packaging Compliance made easy

Can you explain the Regulations simply? 

Most SGF members will be aware of the Producer Responsibility Obligation (Packaging Waste) Regulations, which require companies with turnover exceeding £2 million and who supply or import more than over 50 tonnes of packaging to register with an appropriate agency. 

Obligated companies have the option of joining one of the many approved Compliance or they can register directly with their local Environment Agency. In both cases they will be required to submit an annual report (also known as a Data Form) providing detailed information about the packaging handled during the previous calendar year.

Can I get help with this? 

Completing your Data Return can be cumbersome, especially if it means contacting suppliers for up to date packaging specifications – remember you are responsible for ensuring your data is correctly submitted in accordance with the Agency’s requirements.

Help is at hand however! Greenstreets can provide independent and impartial advice on the best way to complete your data return and we can eliminate the headaches associated with the preparation of your annual data report. Our specialist team can:

• Gather data specifications from suppliers or undertake manual sampling;

• Analyse your business processes and verify packaging activities;

• Complete your Data Form (or Data Tables);

• Provide a Methodology Statement and full audit-trail for the agency;

• Provide onsite assistance in the event of agency audits 

Finally, SGF members will be entitled to a special 15% discount on normal pricing if the Federation is mentioned.
