== UK Targets <ref> [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/packaging-producer-responsibilities gov.uk website: Packaging Waste: Producer Responsibilities]</ref>==
[[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 mechanism used to deliver evidence and drive the Packaging Waste targets is delivered in the UK through the [[PRN]] system.
