The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (as amended) set minimum Recovery (60%) and Recycling (55%) targets for Packaging waste to be met by 31 December 2008, as well as material specific targets.
Material Specific Targets
These material specific targets were:
Member States must continue to meet these minimum standards, but are free to set higher domestic targets if they chose. The provisional figures indicate 70.2% of UK Packaging Waste was either recycled or recovered in 2017 [1]. The mechanism used to deliver evidence and drive the Packaging Waste targets is delivered in the UK through the PRN system.
