Producer Responsibility

Your environmental responsibility now extends beyond your factory gates. You are also have a legal and financial responsibility for your products and packaging. Do you know what happens to them at the end of their lives? If you don’t then you should!

Producer responsibility is a concept that can impose accountability over the entire life cycle of products and packaging placed on the market and over the past few years an ever growing amount of legislation has brought producer responsibility to an increasing number of companies.

If you operate in any of the following sectors then producer responsibility could place legal responsibilities on your company:

• Packaging
• Automotive
• Electrical and electronic equipment
• Products that consume energy (liquid, solid or gases)
• General manufacturing
• Retail
• Food and drink

We’ve helped hundreds of clients; including a number of major multi-nationals, understand the implication of the legislation on their businesses, implement management strategies and redesign products and packaging to reduce both the financial and legislative impacts of the regulations.

Non-compliance is a criminal offence so if you’re not sure about producer responsibility you need to speak to us.
