These Regulations introduce amendments to the Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (Scotland) Regulations 2023. They mandate producers of goods to collect and/or report data concerning the quantity and nature of packaging they introduce to the market, in alignment with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging. Under these new regulations, producers with an annual turnover exceeding £2 million and handling more than 50 tonnes of packaging annually must report data on their packaging supply.
Effective from April 1, 2024, these Regulations are set to come into effect.
