Did you know that you can generate Packaging Waste Recovery Notes (PRNs) from your own packaging waste? Valpak has set up a Members’ Compliance Evidence Policy (MCEP), which enables Valpak members to register their own waste PRNs with us so that they can offset some or most of their packaging compliance bill. Complete our online enquiry form to find out more about Valpak MCEP
Valpak's Policy Department works to keep abreast of all new legislation and requirements that may impact our members. Valpak circulate draft responses, which are available to view via our Knowledge Centre, to our members and we welcome thoughts and comments so that we can represent our members views to government. If you are a Valpak member and you have preliminary comments or concerns, please let us know by completing our online enquiry form or by calling one of our friendly technical advisors on 08450 682 572.
