Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2023 (S.I. 2023/219) (the “principal Regulations”) to revise the definition of “household packaging”, and clarify the division of responsibilities between brand owners, packers/fillers, importers and first UK owners, and distributors, to require the Environment Agency to publish a list of large producers, and to make other amendments.

A full impact assessment of the effect that the principal Regulations will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available from www.legislation.gov.uk, and from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DF.
