These Regulations are made to correct errors in The Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (England) Regulations 2023 (S.I. 2023/219) (“the first Regulations”), to make further provision clarifying when a brand owner is a producer in relation to packaging, to assign responsibility for certain packaging to packer/fillers, rather than brand owners, and to importers, and to make further provision in relation to offences under the Regulations.

A full impact assessment of the effect that the first 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.
