Produced to support Defra and wider packaging policy work, the reports update estimates of packaging placed on the market (POM), collections, recycling, and end markets.
Phase 1 establishes a 2022 baseline for packaging flows, while Phase 2 explores scenarios to 2028 and assesses compliance against recycling targets.
