In England and Northern Ireland, glass drinks bottles will remain in scope of the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) as will all other types of glass packaging. pEPR will place recycling targets on producers in relation to glass packaging and require relevant obligated producers to cover the costs of collecting and managing glass packaging arising in household waste. As part of finalising our plans for pEPR, we will be confirming future recycling targets for all packaging materials shortly.

Notes/Caveats:
1. ‘~’ denotes a value less than 5, to limit disclosure and ensure confidentiality.
2. Only Applications to join the RN/RM Regular Service are included in this data
3. The data shows rejections in the year the application was received, as opposed to the year that rejection was confirmed, which may be in a subsequent year.
5. Due to change of recruiting IT system and digital reporting process, years 2022 and 2023 show comparatively larger numbers of 'unrecorded' or 'incorrect' rejection reasons. This is under ongoing data validation review.
