The UK’s packaging EPR (pEPR) unfairly penalizes glass, according to Nick Kirk, director at British Glass, who tells us that while the scheme claims to support circularity, it undermines environmental sustainability. We sit down with Kirk to discuss pEPR’s effect on the glass and the hospitality sectors. “Without change, pEPR risks damaging a sector that supports thousands of jobs and offers truly circular, endlessly recyclable packaging. Government must act to fix these flaws before lasting harm is done,” says Kirk.
