The Environment Agency have recently published the packaging producer responsibility monitoring plan for 2025 which includes the monitoring policy and the minimum number of persons they propose to monitor.Â
Â
The Environment Agency monitors compliance of businesses in England that have responsibilities under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024. This includes producers (including online marketplaces) and approved compliance schemes.Â
Â
The Environment Agency also monitors compliance of businesses in England that have responsibilities under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 (amended). This includes accredited reprocessors and exporters.Â
Â
They monitor businesses to make sure that:Â
- packaging producers in England contribute to UK recycling targetsÂ
- all obligated producers registerÂ
- producer compliance schemes fulfil their legal duties on behalf of producer membersÂ
- producers and producer compliance schemes provide accurate data on packaging that is handled and recycled in the UKÂ
- there is accurate data on registered producersÂ
- reprocessors and exporters comply with their statutory duties, including conditions of accreditationÂ
- waste packaging is recycled to the right standardsÂ
- waste packaging is recycled legallyÂ
