SI 2016/1146 The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 (link)
These Regulations amend the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 (link). Those Regulations impose on producers the obligation to recover and recycle packaging waste in order to attain the recovery and recycling targets set out in EU Directive 94/62/EC.
The amendments in this new instrument serve to establish new recycling targets for plastic for 2016 to 2020 and for glass for 2018 to 2020. The target for recycling by re-melt for 2016 and 2017 is continued for 2018 to 2020.
They also serve to revoke the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2014.
