A PRN is:
• Evidence of the recycling of packaging.
• Issued by the reprocessors or exporters accredited by the Environment Agency.
• Required by companies with an obligation under the Packaging Waste Regulation for Compliance.
• A tradable economic instrument subject to market forces of supply and demand.
PRN funds are:
• A penalty on packaging users.
• Not levied on reused packaging.
• To increase the recycling of packaging to the level necessary to meet the target by one or more of:
i. Collection
ii. Reprocessing
iii. End Market
• Sufficient to meet the target.

Directives: DIRECTIVES OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL Amending:
• Directive 2008/98/EC on waste
• Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste
– 24 months to implement from 4 July 2018
Smart, simple, safe trading
Revised Packaging Waste Directive Preamble
- Reuse
• Paragraph 4… taking reuse into account for the attainment of recycling targets…
• Paragraph 5… wooden packaging that is repaired for reuse should be taken into account for the purposes of attaining the respective packaging recycling targets.
• Paragraph 11… Member States should make sound use of investments, including through Union Funds, by prioritising prevention including reuse,

Revised Packaging Waste Directive – Reuse Targets
Article 5:
‘By 31 December 2024, the Commission shall examine data on reusable
packaging provided by Member States in accordance with Article 12 and Annex
III with a view to considering the feasibility of setting quantitative targets on reuse
of packaging, including the calculation rules, and any further measures to
promote reuse of packaging.’
Smart, simple, safe trading
Revised Waste Directive Preamble – EPR• Paragraph 14… producers of products to bear financial or financial and organisational
responsibility for the management of the waste stage of a product’s life cycle including separate collection, sorting and treatment operations. That obligation can also include
organisational responsibility and a responsibility to contribute to waste prevention and to the reusability and recyclability of products.
• Paragraph 26… should cover the costs necessary to meet the waste management targets
and other targets and objectives, including on waste prevention.
• Paragraph 34 (Litter) … should promote the sustainable use of and contribute to appropriate end-of-life management of their products.
• Paragraph 43 The targets for preparing for re-use and recycling of municipal waste should be
increased.
Smart, simple, safe trading
Revised Waste Directives – EPR: Article 8a4(a)… financial contributions paid by the producer of the product to comply with its extended producer responsibility obligations:
(a) cover the following costs for the products that the producer puts on the market in the Member State concerned: – costs of separate collection of waste and its subsequent transport and treatment, including treatment necessary to meet the Union waste management targets, and costs necessary to meet other targets and objectives as referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1, taking into account the revenues from re-use, from sales of secondary raw material from its products and from unclaimed deposit fees.
(b) … in the case of collective fulfilment of extended producer responsibility obligations, are modulated, where possible, …
… for individual products or groups of similar products, notably by taking into account their durability, reparability, re-usability and recyclability and the presence of hazardous substances, thereby taking a life-cycle approach and aligned with the requirements set by relevant Union law, and where available, based on harmonised criteria in order to ensure a smooth functioning of the internal market; and
(c) do not exceed the costs that are necessary to provide waste management services in a cost-efficient way. Such costs shall be established in a transparent way between the actors concerned. Where justified by the need to ensure proper waste management and the economic viability of the extended producer responsibility scheme, Member States may depart from the division of financial responsibility as laid down in point (a), provided that:
(i) in the case of extended producer responsibility schemes established to attain waste management targets and objectives established under legislative acts of the Union, the producers of products bear at least 80 % of the necessary costs;

BREXIT Briefing
Patrick McKell, Defra
International waste shipments and EU Exit
58
Objectives of today’s briefing
58
To explain the implications for the regulation of waste shipments in the event of:
• An agreed withdrawal of the UK from the EU,
• Exit from the EU in a No-Deal Scenario.
An agreed withdrawal - I
• The UK and EU have reached an agreement on the terms of a time-limited Implementation Period and the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
• During the Implementation Period the UK will no longer be a Member State of the EU, but market access will continue on current terms.
• Common rules will remain in place until the end of the Implementation Period meaning businesses will be able to trade on the same terms until the end of 2020.
59
An agreed withdrawal - II
• Existing EU rules on the shipment of waste will continue to apply. Existing consents to ship notified waste between the UK and the EU will remain valid until the end of the Implementation Period.
• NOTE - The UK will not be part of EU decision making structures during the Implementation Period.
• A review of the EU Waste Shipment Regulations is anticipated before end of 2020. The UK will have limited opportunity to influence the shape of future EU regulations on shipments.

UK Plan for Waste Shipments
62
No-Deal - The Withdrawal Act
• Withdrawal Act provides powers to “fix” EU and UK regulations to ensure operability on Day 1 in a No-Deal scenario
• These “fixes” are only intended to correct operability problems –this means only making changes that are truly necessary.
• Our aim is to maintain the Status Quo as far as is reasonably possible and provide certainty and continuity for the regulation of international waste shipments.
• The International Waste Shipments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 laid before the Joint Ctte. on Statutory Instruments on 22 November 2018.
62
6363
This SI amends:
• Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste,
• the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007,
• and related subsidiary EU legislation on waste shipments
The amendments will enable the continued operability of the legislation as retained EU law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union
The International Waste Shipments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018
6464
The SI changes include:
• amending references to the EU, EU institutions and EU administrative processes to UK equivalents;
• removing provisions which have no practical application to the UK or are redundant;
• correcting out-of-date references;
• updating legal references to refer to relevant UK legislation; and
• amending the requirement for the government to report annually to the European Commission to the Basel Secretariat only.

Practical implications for waste shipments

“Green List” waste shipments control procedures
•UK Imports of waste for recovery - no practical changes anticipated
•UK Exports of waste for recovery - no practical changes anticipated
•UK Exports to non-OECD countries - we will rely on the existing EU Regulation EC Reg. 1418/2007 – This carries some RISKS but we consider these to be low.
68
Practical implications for waste shipments
68
Notified waste shipments control procedures
Imports of EU waste for disposal
no practical changes anticipated as a result of the “fixing” Exit legislation
• However, Article 34 of the WSR prohibits export for disposal outside the EU, except to EFTA countries.
• This means exports of waste from the EU to the UK for disposal would be prohibited when the UK leaves the EU. This could be addressed under the terms of the Future Economic Partnership.
69
Practical implications for waste shipments
69
Notified waste shipments control procedures
Exports of UK waste for disposal - EU will treat UK as Basel Party
• We will maintain the current provision in the EU Regulation that prohibits the export of waste for disposal with the exception of exports to EU and EFTA countries
• Why should EU accept ? - existing provisions in WSR allow for imports of waste for disposal from parties to the Basel Convention
• UK rarely exports waste for disposal
70
Practical implications for waste shipments
70
Notified waste shipments control procedures
Imports of waste & exports of waste for recovery
• no practical changes anticipated as a result of the “fixing” Exit legislation
• EU will treat UK as an OECD Decision country
• Issue on the status of consented shipments that extend beyond the 29 March 2019
• EU Revised Notice Article 17 - Our objective will be to ensure continuity for shipments that have already been approved
71
Practical implications for waste shipments
71
Notified waste shipments control procedures
UK exports of notified waste – new requirements:
• Familiarise yourself with EU Customs Guidelines on the Import of Waste,
• Complete notifications forms with EU Customs Office of Entry and, where relevant, EU Customs Office of Exit,
• Ensure your waste carriers pass a copy of the Movement document to the Customs Office of Entry into the EU,
• Ensure your waste carrier is suitably authorised to carry waste in the relevant EU countries.
72
Non-legislative issues
72
• EU Waste Shipments “Correspondents” guidance - will continue to apply
• ECJ Case Law on waste shipments - will continue to apply
• Waste Carriers Licences – subject to agreement with individual EU Member States
• Customs Checks - up to 5% of shipments may be inspected. Potential for disruption at UK and EU ports
73
Tariffs
• EU will apply WTO tariffs - no tariffs on wood
• On RDF and SRF - our view is that the export of waste for energy recovery does not constitute a sale of goods but the purchase of a service.
• This is based on our understanding that UK exporters of RDF/SRF have to pay the energy recovery sites to take UK RDF/SRF away.
• This view is supported by both HMRC and the WTO (which considers Refuse Disposal generally a service). As a result, no tariff should be applied to the export.
73
74
Post EU Exit - will the law be frozen?
74
• Repeal of European Communities Act
• Impact on powers to make changes to retained EU Legislation and existing UK implementing legislation
• Sufficient powers under sections 141 and 156 of the Environment Protection Act to make new legislation on waste shipments after Exit
• Any future changes to waste shipment controls will be subject to formal public consultation.
75
Summary
• Waste Shipments is an INTERNATIONAL Regime – Defra does not anticipate significant changes in the way shipments will be controlled as a result of Exit,
• In a No-Deal scenario imports of waste for disposal from the EU will be affected,
• Also the status of agreed notified shipments with the EU will be affected as the UK transitions from one set of rules to another, work is underway to mitigate this risk,
• There may be disruption at UK ports which will affect all shipments. The UK regulators are preparing for these.
