The Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 2015<ref>https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/1640/introduction/made</ref> sets out illustrative examples of [[Packaging Waste]] in Schedule 5. The original [[Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive]] (94/62/EC) set minimum [[Recovery]] (60%) and [[Recycling]] (55%) targets for Packaging waste to be met by 31 December 2008, as well as material specific targets. This Directive has now been amended and replaced by Directive 2018/852/EC on [[Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive|Packaging and Packaging Waste]] which requires that:

[[Wikipedia: Member state of the European Union |Member States]] must continue to meet these minimum standards, but are free to set higher domestic targets if they chose. The provisional figures indicate 70.2% of UK Packaging Waste was either recycled or recovered in 2017 <ref name="dig">[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste 2019] updating some of the 2018 Digest with 2017 data</ref>. The mechanism used to deliver evidence and drive the Packaging Waste targets is delivered in the UK through the [[PRN]] system.
The UK targets for Packaging Waste are set out in the table below.  The targets for 2024 and 2030 in the table below are the final proposed targets set out in the consultation response to [[EPR]] changes in March 2022. The mechanism presently used to deliver evidence and drive the Packaging Waste targets is delivered in the UK through the [[PRN]] system.

===Most Recent Date Published by the EA and DEFRA<ref name="dig" /><ref>https://npwd.environment-agency.gov.uk/Public/PublicSummaryData.aspx</ref>===
The most recent figures published by the [[EA]] were for 2021 and show the performance against target (over-performance allows tonnage to be carried forwards into the following year for measurement, under-performance indicates that obligated organisations have not met their obligations in that year). In 2021 the provisional data (shown in the table below) suggests that [[Glass]] (focused on remelt) and [[Plastic]] did not meet their 2021 targets when removing the carry over tonnage from 2020. The targets and the reporting for 2021 do not include any tonnage for recovery.
