Annual packaging waste recycling targets will be introduced under the new Ex-tended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations up until 2030. This is confirmed in the government response to the consultation on EPR, which can be found here Packaging and packaging waste: introducing Extended Producer Responsibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
