This guide is especially helpful for those companies that plan to export packaging
materials (or goods that are packaged) to the United Kingdom and/or Europe. The EEC Directive for
Packaging and Packaging Waste acts as the basis for UK legislation entitled "Producer
Responsibility Obligations." The UK regulations in particular stipulate that all businesses that produce or distribute
packaging and packaging materials are responsible for the recovery and recycling of packaging waste.
This legislation and the EEC Directive are addressed in this new publication
from the British Standards Institute.
