The New Producer Responsibility (Packaging Waste) Regulations were made on 15th December 2005 and set new recovery and recycling targets as detailed in Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003, Council Directive 2004/12/EC and Council Directive 2005/20/EC the Packaging Waste Directive). The new Regulations replace the existing recovery and recycling targets as detailed previously.
