PackCare gets green light for new compliance scheme

The scheme, aimed at the producers of industrial packaging, will handle the paperwork and recycling required by the packaging waste regulations.

Bob Taylor, managing director, said: “We intend to eliminate the mystique surrounding compliance and bring immediate savings to our members.

“All too often in the past, registered packaging producers have complained at the lack of transparency and horrendous costs associated with compliance. Our costs are transparent, easy to understand and the lowest available in the UK.”

Members of the scheme will pay an annual fee, but the actual amount has not yet been said, the company told Packaging News.

The service will start until January.

The scheme aims to build on the success of WasteCare’s waste electrical and electronic equipment WeeeCare compliance scheme, which was launched in 2007. The scheme has more than 1,000 members in the UK.
