The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997 allow a producer to join a compliance scheme which will meet the producer's recovery and recycling obligations on its behalf. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Environment Agency have produced guidance on various aspects of the regulations, including statutory guidance on evidence of compliance. The accreditation system established in accordance with the guidance helps producers and compliance schemes to demonstrate compliance by obtaining Packaging Waste Recovery Notes from agency-accredited reprocessors. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has also provided a range of training courses on various aspects of the regulations for producers and compliance scheme members.
