PackUK has appointed members to the Scheme Administrator Steering Group, completing the appointment of all four of its key advisory groups.
PackUk, the scheme administrator for the UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) programme, also appointed Independent Chairs for all four groups.
The voluntary advisory groups, which are not decision-making bodies, will support the continued development and delivery of the pEPR scheme. The groups are:
- Scheme Administrator Steering Group.
- Recyclability Assessment Methodology Technical Advisory Committee.
- Efficiency and Effectiveness Technical Advisory Committee.
- Communications and Behaviour Change Advisory Group.
The Scheme Administrator Steering Group provides recommendations to the Scheme Administrator Executive Committee (SA ExCo) on the operational functions of the Scheme Administrator.
With the exception of the local authority representatives, all individuals are appointed as individuals, rather than on behalf of businesses or organisations.
