Packaging performs an essential role in delivering products safely and efficiently to the consumer, but at the end of its useful life it is usually discarded. Each year UK businesses use over 10 million tonnes of packaging for their products.
In 1998, only one third of this was recycled or recovered; the majority was landfilled. Thanks to the introduction of the Packaging Waste Regulations, the UK is well on the way to achieving its 2008 target of 60% recovery.
