5 Scottish Flow of Packaging Aluminium CONSUMER Packaging in Scotland (2012) Formats Glass Paper & Card Plastics Steel Wood Polymers Flow onto Market Recycling Levels Recycling Rates NON-CONSUMER

6 Data Sources & Methodologies Data Sources 8+ Elements to consider Different methodologies for different elements Valpak PackFlow 2017 GlassFlow Other Material Flow Reports (WIP) EPIC Supermarket Packaging Data Figures still draft ONS Data Annual Mid-year Population Estimates, 2012 UK Business: Ac vity, Size and Loca on, 2012 NPWD Data Accredited reprocessors/exporters returns, 2012 WDF LA Returns 2011/2012 Defra Data Total waste arisings in the UK, 2006 & 2008 C&I Waste Survey 2009 CIWM/Ricardo-AEA Report 2013 C&I Waste in the UK and ROI (2012 projections)

10 Current UK PRN Model Duncan Simpson

11 What are the Packaging Waste Regulations? Europe 1994 European Union Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste 94/62/EC UK The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 NI The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007

12 UK Recycling Targets Material 2012 (%) 2013 (%) 2014 (%) 2015 (%) 2016 (%) 2017 (%) Paper/card Glass Aluminium Steel Plastic Wood Total recovery Of which recycling

13 UK Packaging Waste Regulations Industry consulted by Government Shared producer responsibility - unique solution Responsibility is shared through the packaging chain Draw material manufacturer R A F T converter packer/filler seller importer Producers complete data submission form Meet recycling obligation by purchasing PRNs

14 Obligated producers Handle over 50 tonnes of packaging and D Have Ra turnover Aof more than 2 Fmillion T and perform an activity supply to another stage in chain own packaging

15 Share of obligations 6% 9% 37% 48% raw material manufacturing conversion pack / filling selling multiple roles means multiple activities importers take a rolled up obligation

16 The PRN (packaging waste recovery note) collection D R A F end Tmarket reprocessing (recovery/recycling) PRN

17 Raw Material Manufacturer Conversion Pack/filling Sell Importer Packaging created and sold to the consumer Packaging enters waste stream Landfill Collection by accredited reprocessor Packaging is recovered/recycled Certificate of recycling evidence generated (PRN) = Producer buys recycling evidence (PRNs) to meet their obligation Data and PRNs submitted to the EA/NIEA/SEPA Investment

18 Coffee Break

19 Proposed Scottish Model Andrew McCaffery

20 Proposed Scottish PRN Perceived Problems with the PRN System Lack of transparency (minimum evidence of where PRN money is spent) Perceived to be uneven balance of benefit (LA / compliance schemes / reprocessors) Minimum developments in end markets Does not take into account environmental impact of packaging No benefit for manufacturing packaging with a recycled content Does not encourage reuse Does not tackle litter Perceived to be complicated Perceived to favour export of recyclate

21 Proposed Scottish PRN Producer, Compliance Scheme, Collection

22 Proposed Scottish PRN Collection, Reprocessor, Export

23 Proposed Scottish PRN

24 Proposed Scottish PRN Possible Solutions Direct funding across the supply chain Compliance schemes to have contracts with LAs Compliance scheme to purchase Compliance SPRN if not enough material available Reprocessors to gain environmental rating to issue SPRNs Auditable trail and spend Detailed Compliance scheme operational plan to be audited by SEPA SEPA determine reprocessor environmental rating Litter fund Litter fee to be included in SPRNs Environmental benefit of packaging taken into consideration Recycled content Split targets for plastic format or grades
