Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (S.S.I. 613 of 2003). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision Scotland Document type Regulation Date 2003 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Waste & hazardous substances Keyword Waste non-domestic sources Waste prevention Packaging/labelling Recycling/reuse Registration Certification Waste management Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Abstract These Regulations amend the 1997 Regulations, which imposed on producers, and, on their behalf, scheme operators, obligations to recover and recycle specified tonnages of packaging waste, and related obligations, in order to attain the targets in Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC. A revision of the Directive which will set new targets to be met in 2008 is presently being negotiated and is expected to be agreed soon. In order to ensure that the absence of targets higher than those presently in the 1997 Regulations does not prejudice the United Kingdom's ability to increase its rates of recovery and recycling sufficiently to meet the new Directive targets in 2008, these Regulations set interim domestic targets and recovery and recycling obligations which take account of the probable new targets which the United Kingdom is likely to have to meet in 2008.
