[[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" />

===Review===

The 'Packaging Producer Responsibility System' was under review, with first stage consultations having completed in July 2019<ref>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/819467/epr-consult-sum-resp.pdf</ref> and was to be replaced by an [[Extended Producer Responsibility]] system - originally planned for final consultation in 2021 for implementation from 2021 to 2025 - as captured in the most recent [[DEFRA]] Waste Management Plan for England<ref>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/955897/waste-management-plan-for-england-2021.pdf Waste Management Plan for England 2021]</ref>.

However, following publication of the [[EPR]] consultation in March 2021, it was indicated that the [[PRN]]/[[PERN]] system would be retained as an 'interim solution' until a wider [[EPR]] could be implemented. In March 2022 a further consultation was launched<ref>https://consult.defra.gov.uk/packaging-extended-producer-responsibility/reforms-to-the-prn-and-pern-systems/</ref> to modify the [[PRN]]/[[PERN]] system to align with the published consultation in March 2022 on the review of the [[EPR]] system~~, anticipated in this March 2022 consultation~~ to ~~be undertaken in~~ 2026 to 2027<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/packaging-and-packaging-waste-introducing-extended-producer-responsibility#full-publication-update-history</ref>.
