These Regulations impose on producers obligations to recover and recycle packaging waste, and related obligations, in order to attain the targets in article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC. A producer (defined in regulation 3) who in a relevant year has a specified level of turnover (set out in Schedule 1) and handles (as defined in Schedule 1) packaging or packaging materials (defined in regulation 2) weighing more than 50 tonnes has an obligation in the following year to recover and to recycle packaging waste, as set out in Schedule 2). Certain categories of producer are excluded by regulation 4. In particular, a producer who joins a scheme which undertakes to meet the recovery and recycling targets of all its members is not required to comply with its obligations. In such cases the obligations are performed through the scheme. Under regulation 5 producers who are not members of registered schemes need to be registered with specified authorities. An applicant who complies with the relevant requirements (reg. 6(5)) will be registered. There is provision for cancellation of registration where, for example, a producer fails to provide information or joins a registered scheme. There are similar registration requirements for schemes in regulations 12 to 17. Registered producers, and operators of schemes, are required to maintain records and furnish returns to the appropriate Agency (regs. 22 and 24). Registered producers are also to provide certificates of compliance with their recovery and recycling obligations (reg. 23). Regulations 25 and 26 set out the duties of the appropriate Agencies to monitor compliance and in relation to a public register.
