【SMM Aluminum Flash News】UK Packaging Reforms Disrupt Recycling Data, While Aluminum Remains Resilient
The UK's packaging recycling data system is facing disruption as pEPR, PRN reforms and the upcoming Deposit Return Scheme reshape reporting requirements. Alupro said heavier administrative requirements and delays in the new PRN reporting system mean some recycling activity is no longer fully reflected in official data, making comparisons with previous years increasingly difficult. Aluminum recycling, however, has remained relatively resilient, supported by established supply chains and the material's strong intrinsic recycling value.
