[[The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997]], as amended, introduces obligations on producers to provide financial incentives to the packaging recycling industry to collect and reprocess (or export for reprocessing elsewhere) sufficient material to meet the targets set by the Government <ref name="Pack">https://app.croneri.co.uk/feature-articles/packaging-recovery-how-it-works-and-why-it-needs-improving</ref> - a direct application of the [[Polluter Pays Principle]].

Targets are set annually for [[Packaging Waste]] [[recycling]] and these are listed on the [[Packaging Waste]] page.

[[PRN]]s can be delivered by producing evidence by an 'obligated company' or can be purchased from a [[Reprocessor]] of [[Packaging Waste]] (issued as evidenced with the [[Regulator]]) to deliver against the producer’s obligations whereas [[PERN]]s are issued at the point of export to a [[Reprocesser]] outside the UK. The values of [[PRN]]s and [[PERN]]s fluctuate with the targets set for [[Packaging Waste]] recycling annually, the volume of material available in the market and other factors such as oil prices, secondary raw material prices and exchange rates.<ref name="Pack" />

*Packaging is created and sold to customer or consumer.

*Packaging ~~waste~~ is collected, recovered and/or recycled by an accredited reprocessor.

*[[Packaging Waste]] is collected, recovered and/or recycled by an accredited reprocessor.

*[[PRN]] is generated as evidence of compliance.

*Compliance company buys [[PRN]]s to meet their members’ obligations.

*Packaging data and [[PRN]]s are submitted to the Environment Agency, demonstrating compliance with packaging waste regulations.

Businesses do not need to recycle their own packaging. Purchasing [[PRN]] certificates from accredited reprocessors demonstrates that an equivalent amount of ~~packaging waste~~ has been recovered and recycled on their behalf, to meet their obligation.
