The UK’s new PEPR (Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility) regulations are shaking up the world of recycling. These rules make packaging producers responsible for the life cycle of their products—from production through to recycling. For companies like Quantum Waste, which handles the waste and recycling process, this change means we may start seeing an increase in recyclable packaging materials. Since producers are now accountable for recycling costs, they’re encouraged to design packaging that’s easier to process, aligning well with Quantum Waste’s mission of creating a cleaner, more sustainable recycling loop. We’re excited to continue helping our clients manage packaging waste responsibly while supporting the shift toward a more circular economy.
