Section 18 Regulations from 5 November 2021
The new Section 18 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations have set out clear targets for all packaging producers. These targets must be met by the 5th November 2021 and include:
- registering on the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) and listing products covered by EPR Schemes
- joining or forming a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO)
- developing and submitting to the DFFE an independent EPR Scheme for the specified packaging
