Transparency data: Packaging waste data reported by reprocessors and exporters

Imported from official source

May 05, 2026 23:00

The data was extracted from the ‘Record reprocessed or exported packaging waste’ service on 21 September 2026.

Accredited reprocessors and exporters must submit monthly reports to show how much waste packaging they have reprocessed or exported.

The data is broken down by month and includes the following information:

how much waste was recycled, exported or sent on

tonnage of packaging waste recycling notes (PRNs) and packaging waste export recycling notes (PERNs) issued

average prices per tonne for the sale of PRNs and PERNs

tonnage credited to operators’ waste balances

Data for England is published on a separate tab, however the data for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is only shown as part of the UK data – this is to protect commercial data for identifiable operators.

This data includes packaging waste data submitted by accredited UK reprocessors and exporters.

data from accredited reprocessors and exporters who are required to report their data but have not

data from accredited reprocessors and exporters who reported their data after the date it was extracted from the system

quarterly data from reprocessors and exporters who only hold a registered status

data from accredited reprocessors and exporters who reported data for a period when an accreditation was not held

data from accredited exporters who reported data for waste sent to an overseas reprocessing site that was not included in their accreditation

The inclusion of credited waste balance data has been introduced in response to industry feedback requesting greater transparency on the supply of evidence available to the PRN market.

This data shows the total tonnage credited to accredited operators’ waste balances during the reporting month, broken down by material type. It includes both the following:

tonnage for which PRNs/PERNs have subsequently been issued

tonnage for which PRNs/PERNs could be issued in the future but have not yet been generated
