UK sets 83% recycling threshold for 2026 plastic packaging

Original: UK Environment Agency sets 83% threshold for 2026 plastic packaging recycling obligations

The UK Environment Agency has set an 83% threshold that companies must meet for plastic packaging recycling obligations in 2026. The target will determine which packaging producers face compliance requirements or fees under the UK's extended producer responsibility rules. Businesses in the packaging and waste sectors are now assessing how the threshold affects their recycling reporting and costs from 2026.

Why now: Packaging producers and waste-sector businesses are evaluating the new compliance threshold ahead of 2026 obligations.
