Duo UK and Emerge are piloting a regional recycling scheme in Greater Manchester, UK, for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) materials as the country prepares for the incoming packaging EPR (pEPR). Myerson Solicitors tells us about the potential impacts of the new “polluter-pays” rules on local businesses this Global Recycling Day.The pEPR scheme is designed to shift the responsibility and cost of packaging waste management from taxpayers and local authorities to businesses that use and supply the packaging. The first EPR payments will be required between October and December this year.
