These Regulations impose requirements on producers of packaging who are established in the United Kingdom. They require producers to register with the appropriate agency, to collect and report data in relation to packaging they supply, and to assess the recyclability of packaging they supply. They also require certain producers to meet recycling obligations and to pay annual fees as a contribution to the net costs of local authorities providing a waste management service in relation to household packaging waste, and the costs of providing public information about disposal of packaging waste. They establish a scheme administrator to administer the provisions on disposal costs and to distribute amounts collected from producers. They also regulate compliance schemes which perform obligations on behalf of producers who are scheme members, and reprocessors and exporters of packaging waste.
