How does it work?

Under the Packaging Waste Regulations, obligated producers are required to pay towards packaging recycling by buying evidence in the form of packaging recovery notes (PRNs) from reprocessors or exporters. At Clarity, we directly procure evidence on behalf of our own packaging compliance scheme members, as well as for other compliance schemes and direct registrants.

Managed by our in-house supply chain intelligence division, Clarity’s Recycling Evidence Quality Standard carries out over 40 assessment checks on UK reprocessors and exporters. Purchasers of packaging recovery notes, such as compliance schemes and direct registrants, are given an overall assurance score and thorough audit report prior to agreeing the purchase of recycling evidence. This score will allow businesses to confidently purchase quality PRNs from approved suppliers and supports us to provide our packaging compliance members with safe, responsibly-sourced and traceable recycling evidence.
