Packaging, WEEE & Battery Compliance
Packaging, WEEE & Battery Compliance
We provide a range of packaging, WEEE and battery compliance and consultancy services throughout these jurisdictions.
Leaf is dedicated to helping businesses, small and large, with Producer Responsibility Initiatives (PRI) with compliance obligations in any sector.
The Leaf Group operates a Packaging Compliance Scheme within the UK from Glasgow (Scotpak for England, Scotland and Wales) as well as a Belfast-based consultancy, Leaf UK.
Our experience and broad range of specialist compliance services are designed to help you understand and comply with the Regulations relevant to you within your jurisdiction.
We work within the three core areas of the Packaging, WEEE & Battery Producer Responsibility Directives and offer a portfolio of consultancy services based on these regulations. These may touch on the implications of the Circular Economy, Extended Producer Responsibility, ISO or CSR or something else that you want investigated or need help with.
The packaging regulations have been in force since 1997, and have been amended on numerous occasions. We have been immersed in them since 1999.
Leaf Environmental can establish what your obligations are through a packaging audit. We specialise in understanding and working within current UK and Irish Producer Responsibility Regulations.
Whether you want to self comply with your Local Authority or pass the obligations to Repak, directly register with a UK Environment Agency or join a compliance scheme, we can help you make the best decision for your business.
We work with producers of WEEE in Ireland or the UK to help those qualifying businesses comply with the WEEE regulations. We can explain what your obligations are; we can collate your data and we can submit it for you to the relevant bodies in tandem with your other compliance obligations.
We liaise with the Producer Register Limited (formerly the WEEE Registration Society), WEEE Black Box, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); BIS and Defra in the UK and of course the compliance schemes on your behalf as part of the service.
Battery waste regulations are part of the E.U. wide Producer Responsibility series. They place recovery and recycling obligations on importers and manufacturers as well as sellers of batteries.
Part of our work is interpreting the statutory instruments and presenting you with the answer to your query as elegantly as possible.
Whether you are in Ireland or the UK, Leaf Environmental can provide information on both meeting your compliance requirements and specialist advice on what is the most cost-effective route to compliance for your business.
