13 Mar 2023 --- Hexcel Reinforcements UK has paid £30,000 (US$36,400) after failing to register as a packaging producer and take steps to recover and recycle its packaging waste under the Producer Responsibility Obligations (PRO) Packaging Waste Regulations 2007. The UK’s Environment Agency accepted an enforcement undertaking offer from Hexcel to address the breach of environmental legislation. Under the Environment Agency, companies with a turnover of over £2 million (US$2.4 million) and handling more than 50 metric tons of packaging in the previous year must ensure a certain percentage of packaging is recycled.
