Packaging Waste Recovery Note
The tradable evidence that demonstrates that an obligated company has met its responsibilities under The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997, as amended which introduces obligations on producers in this area - a direct application of the polluter pays principle. PRNs can be delivered by producing evidence of recycling for an obligated company, or can be purchased from a recycler of packaging material to deliver against the producer’s obligations. Value fluctuates with the targets set for packaging waste recycling annually and the volume of material available in the market at any time that can have PRN’s issued.
