Where does the money I pay for PRNs go?

Packaging Recovery Notes generate income for reprocessors. This money is then invested back into recycling projects, ensuring that the UK’s recycling and recovery industry continues to grow, and enabling the UK to meets its obligations under the European Regulations. The income generated from PERNs is used to finance the transportation of recyclables to overseas reprocessors.
