The UK launched Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging, a landmark 
change that places responsibility for the lifecycle of packaging squarely on producers. Businesses 
that manufacture or import packaging are now accountable for ensuring it's collected and recycled.

For Quantum Waste, this policy change presents both a challenge and an opportunity. As we 
manually sort collected waste, clean, properly labelled packaging helps us maximise recycling 
efficiency and reduce contamination.

What does this mean in practice?
Client education becomes crucial; show them how to separate packaging properly.
Reduced contamination in recycling streams helps us deliver cleaner materials to processors.
Strengthened local systems support circular economy goals, exactly what Quantum Waste stands for.

Our operational model, local, hands-on, and practical, positions us well in this evolving landscape. 
We can help businesses navigate EPR requirements while reinforcing a cleaner, more effective 
recycling system.
