Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (S.R. No. 198 of 2007).

These Regulations impose on producers the obligation to recover and recycle packaging waste, and related obligations. These obligations are prescribed so as to reach the recovery and recycling targets set out in Article 6(1) of Council Directive 94/62/EC. Schedule 1 sets out the detailed basis upon which a person qualifies as a producer with producer responsibility obligations under these Regulations. Schedule 2 sets out the rules for working out the level of producer s recovery and recycling obligations.
A producer can purchase packaging waste recovery notes or packaging waste export recovery notes or both to satisfy his or her obligations or may join a compliance scheme for which registration with the Department of the Environment is required.
