Packaging Compliance and Recycling

Matthew — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:30:38 +0000

Toddpak provides packaging compliance solutions for many companies in the UK who fall under the packaging waste regulations.

To ensure that these obligated businesses can meet their packaging recycling targets, it is important that not only businesses recycle their wastes, especially packaging, but that householders do.

Householders can do their bit by using recycling schemes in their area.

Waste packaging comes in many forms – plastic bottle and pots, glass bottles and jars, cardboard boxes, steel and aluminium cans – you will be familiar with most of these.

These items are simple to recycle and make into new products.

To find out about recycling more, go to the www.direct.gov.uk website and click on “Environment and Greener living”.

You can make a difference!

What is packaging?

Matthew — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:08:54 +0000

Packaging is anything that is used to contain, protect, deliver or present goods.
Goods could be raw materials or processed items.

Packaging can be made out of paper, board, wood, glass, metals, plastics, cork, hessian, jute or ceramics.

For example, packaging includes:

boxes
pallets
labels
containers
tubes
bags
sacks
tape
wrapping
binding and tying material.

If an item is integrated into packaging and intended to be used and thrown away with it, it is still considered as packaging. For example, a makeup mascara brush or a measuring cup provided with washing powder.

An item is not considered packaging if it is:

a part of a product and is necessary to preserve, contain or support the product during its lifespan and use, eg tea bags and plant pots for house plants
a disposable item designed to be used at the point of sale which does not fulfil a packaging function, eg drinks stirrers and plastic cutlery.

Failing to Comply with Regulations

If your business produces or handles packaging and you fail to comply with the regulations you could be prosecuted and fined.

The packaging waste regulations ensure that businesses are responsible for recovering and recycling UK packaging waste.

There are two sets of regulations you may need to comply with:
The Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations apply to you if your business produces packaged products, or places packaging or packaged goods on the market.
The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations apply to you if your business handles more than 50 tonnes of packaging in a year and has a turnover of more than £2 million.
