Details

This IA is green-rated; fit for purpose.

The proposal reforms existing regulations to introduce a full net cost (FNC) recovery system that requires producers to pay the full costs of household packaging they place on the market. The proposal also introduces mandatory labelling as well as mandatory takeback requirements for fibre-based composite cups.

As originally submitted, the IA was considered not fit for purpose by the RPC due to issues with both the EANDCB and the SaMBA. Following the Departments response to our Initial Review Notice (IRN), the RPC now considers the IA fit for purpose. Overall, the IA is well-structured, and the discussion of impacts are broken down by the key market players affected in the supply chain. The evidence supporting the EANDCB and SaMBA is now considered sufficient.
