Is your business legally compliant?
We’ll give you the answer, and the solution if it’s a ‘no’.
The Producer Responsibility Regulations (Packaging Waste) 2007 mean lots of businesses have clear legal obligations when it comes to their packaging waste.
You’ll need to take action if you meet these two criteria:
- Turnover of £2m per year
- Handle over 50 tonnes of packaging per year
Not sure what 50 tonnes looks like?
- 5 pallets of packed goods per day
- 1 articulated lorry load of goods per week
Save money, protect the planet, safeguard your reputation…
Investors in the Environment (iiE) is a well-established national environmental accreditation and membership scheme that helps small and medium sized business in three ways.
