Published in July, RAM 2027 sets out the technical criteria that will determine whether packaging is classified as recyclable or non-recyclable under the UK's packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) scheme.

The webinar also explored how businesses can interpret the updated methodology and identify any actions they may need to take ahead of implementation. Attendees gained valuable insights into the potential impact on packaging design decisions, compliance requirements and future modulated fee assessments.
