- The Packaging Waste (Data Reporting) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2024
Scotland: Definitions and responsibilities for reporting packaging waste have been updated. For the purposes of defining packaging, where a drink container is made up of multiple components made of different materials, the drink container is to be treated as being made of the same material as the component which is predominant by weight, unless the predominant component is made of glass. In that case, each component of the container has to be treated separately.
