Through our Clarity Cares initiative, weโ€™re delighted to be the primary sponsor of Adur Special Needs Projectโ€™s upcoming fundraising challenge at Adur Recreation Ground on Friday 18 September.

It promises to be an afternoon of fun games and challenges, bringing local businesses together in a spirit of teamwork and friendly competition.

Most importantly, the event will raise vital funds to support ASNPโ€™s play schemes for children with special educational needs and disabilities - helping them develop their confidence, communication skills and self-esteem.

Exchange For Change has confirmed that drinks producers will pay no producer fees from the launch of the UKโ€™s Deposit Return Scheme in October 2027 until the end of 2028.

Anticipated fees will then rise to:

๐Ÿ”น 0.6p per aluminium or steel container
๐Ÿ”น 2.3p per PET plastic container

Our latest article explains the proposed fee structure, what the announcement means for the implementation of DRS and the preparations producers should be making ahead of launch.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation now applies, meaning affected businesses must comply with the new requirements.

For businesses supplying packaging or packaged products into the EU immediate priorities may include:

โ€ข Establishing their legal role for each product and route to market
โ€ข Preparing technical documentation and EU Declarations of Conformity
โ€ข Collecting the necessary supplier data and evidence
โ€ข Checking food-contact packaging against the new PFAS restrictions
โ€ข Addressing gaps in existing compliance processes

With further regulatory requirements being introduced progressively between now and 2030, PPWR should be treated as an ongoing compliance programme, not a deadline that has now passed.

Our latest article explains what already applies, what is coming next and the actions affected businesses should now be taking.

Today, 12 August 2026, marks a major milestone for packaging compliance across the EU and Northern Ireland.

Some PPWR requirements take effect immediately, including new restrictions on PFAS in food-contact packaging. Others will be introduced progressively over the coming years.

The challenge is understanding what applies now, what comes later and what each requirement means in practice for your packaging and supply chains.

Whether you need immediate support or are developing a longer-term PPWR strategy, Clarity can help you identify your obligations, address compliance gaps and prepare for the changes ahead.

PPWR: Five key clarifications from the latest EU guidance

The European Commission has published an updated edition of its PPWR FAQs, providing important new clarification for businesses preparing for the Regulationโ€™s 12 August application date.

Maia Shaw, Clarityโ€™s Policy & Communications Executive, has analysed the updated guidance and picked out five of the most important clarifications โ€“ and, crucially, what they mean for businesses in practice.

These include:

๐Ÿ”น Language requirements for EU Declarations of Conformity
๐Ÿ”น How PPWR applies to goods passing through the EU
๐Ÿ”น The treatment of existing packaging stock
๐Ÿ”น What businesses should expect from enforcement

With PPWR taking effect in just days, understanding how these latest clarifications apply to your business is an important part of strengthening your compliance position.

Mandatory collections of flexible plastic packaging in England have been delayed until 2030.

Originally due to begin in 2027 under Simpler Recycling, the requirement has been pushed back by three years amid concerns about the UKโ€™s sorting and reprocessing infrastructure and the availability of viable end markets.

The decision has divided the waste and recycling sector.

While some believe the delay provides much-needed time to develop the capacity required, others warn it could weaken investor confidence and slow progress towards a more circular economy.

For packaging producers, important questions remain about how the revised timetable will interact with packaging EPR, recyclability assessments and future compliance costs.

In our latest article, Martin Trigg-Knight explains:

๐Ÿ”น Why the requirement has been delayed
๐Ÿ”น How the sector has responded
๐Ÿ”น What the change means for local authorities
๐Ÿ”น What packaging producers should do next

New deforestation due diligence rules are coming to Great Britain. ๐ŸŒฒ

Businesses with an annual turnover above ยฃ1 million using commodities such as wood, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber and cattle could face new requirements to trace product origins, collect geolocation data and evidence compliance.

The new regime is expected to be introduced in 2027 and is intended to align closely with the EUDR.

Businesses should start reviewing their supply chains now to understand where future compliance gaps may exist.

๐Ÿ“– With the publication of the new RAM 2027 guidance, itโ€™s clear that existing RAM ratings will change as recyclability assessment requirements continue to evolve.

๐Ÿ“Š Maintaining accurate RAM assessments at scale is becoming increasingly challenging. You need confidence that your packaging data remains accurate and ready to withstand regulatory scrutiny.

๐Ÿšฆ Thatโ€™s why we developed ๐—ฅ๐—”๐—  ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€.

In this short, practical webinar, we'll show how ๐—ฅ๐—”๐—  ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ helps you:

โœ” Complete RAM assessments quickly, consistently and at scale
โœ” Stay aligned with the latest RAM criteria and regulatory updates
โœ” Identify packaging at risk of Amber or Red ratings
โœ” Understand potential impacts on your future EPR costs
โœ” Turn packaging compliance data into meaningful insight for your business

Whether youโ€™re preparing for your H1 2026 submission or looking for a more efficient way to manage packaging compliance, this session will show how ๐—ฅ๐—”๐—  ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ can do the hard work for you.

PackUK has published the new RAM 2027 guidance.

And producers need to be ready, with:

โ€ข New automatic-red criteria for PFAS, substances of concern and printing inks
โ€ข Revised assessment and classification processes
โ€ข New material-specific assessment criteria across packaging categories

For producers, the message is clear. Existing RAM ratings could change, making it increasingly challenging to stay ahead of evolving requirements.

Thatโ€™s why we developed RAM Assess.

RAM Assess keeps pace with changing requirements, helping producers maintain accurate, consistent and audit-ready recyclability assessments without having to interpret every update themselves.

Find out whatโ€™s changing, what it means for your business, and how RAM Assess can help you stay ahead. ๐Ÿ‘‡

12 August 2026 is fast approaching.

Will you have the evidence needed to keep your food-contact packaging on the EU market?

Under PPWR, new restrictions on PFAS will apply to food-contact packaging โ€“ creating new compliance obligations for businesses across the packaging supply chain.

Many producers are now asking:

โ€ข How do we know if our packaging contains PFAS?

โ€ข Can we rely on supplier "PFAS-free" declarations?

โ€ข What evidence is needed for the Technical File in the DoC?

โ€ข What action do we need to take before 12 August 2026?

Our latest article breaks down the new requirements into practical guidance, helping businesses understand their obligations and prepare with confidence.
