Packaging and EMS

Producer Responsibility 
The Packaging Regulations

Companies ranging from raw material manufacturers to retailers are required to collect and submit data on the packaging they handle and meet recycling and recovery obligations. 

We provide advice and assistance with:-

• registration
• collection and analysis of packaging data;
• choice of compliance scheme;
• negotiations with the Environment Agency; and
• reprocessor/exporter accreditation and issue of PRNs.

For an informal discussion or for further information please contact Patrick Scott at our Lyndhurst head office. Also see related articles #1 and #2.

Environmental Management Systems

New legislation, consumer pressure and public interest make it necessary for companies and organisations to be aware of their environmental responsibilities. This can be achieved through the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS).

The benefits of an EMS include:-

• increased awareness of environmental legislation resulting in a reduced risk of non-compliance and liabilities;

• improved relations with regulators, such as the Environment Agency or local authority, through the adoption of a more systematic and professional approach to environmental protection;

• improved relations with stakeholders;

• cost savings, for example through increased efficiency or reductions in waste production; and

• improved company image.

We can offer assistance in the selection of the most suitable EMS for a company or organisation and its preparation and implementation. We can also assist companies or organisations which do not require a full EMS but may wish to undertake an environmental review. This looks at the current environmental performance of the company, including issues such as waste, use of raw materials and energy consumption and identifies how performance can be improved.

We can provide you with the advice and assistance you need, whether you are interested in developing a successful EMS or simply undertaking a review of your environmental performance.
