The UK’s largest compliance scheme, Valpak by Reconomy, has responded to the recent publication of PackUK’s Roadmap, highlighting the benefit for planning ahead.
Ruth Beckley, Chief Operating Officer at Valpak, said: “Any insight that gives obligated businesses visibility into future RAM requirements or helps with data management is extremely valuable. The roadmap also provides reassurance that those areas causing confusion will be resolved.
“For example, the review of take-back guidance later this year is a timely inclusion that reflects the concerns of Valpak members around access to take-back systems and evidencing recycling. Language clarity also has a major impact on our members’ work. As packaging changes to meet the RAM specifications, clarity around details such as acceptable shades of coloured plastics for recycling will have significant cost implications.
“As Valpak supports its members in the transition to shift material from red to green under RAM, the roadmap is an effective resource.”
