Latest Defra figures suggest that some packaging firms may have failed to comply with the UK Packaging Waste Regulations in 2004, according to compliance expert Valpak. The company’s comments come in response to the recent release of Defra’s recovery and recycling figures for the fourth quarter of 2004. According to Valpak, these figures show that in 2004 the UK failed to meet intermediate recycling targets in aluminium, steel, plastic, and the overall general recycling target.
