Detail
We want to know what you think about possible reforms to the packaging waste recycling note (PRN) and packaging export recycling note (PERN) system.
The consultation document sets out possible changes we could make to improve the system.
The changes aim to level the playing field between UK domestic reprocessors and exporters and reduce the risk of fraud and error.
