Simplifications informed by the value chain바카라 사이트¯Â
PackUK carried out a RAM simplification sprint in February 2025. The aim of the sprint was to reduce complexity of the RAM and increase the viability of producers being able to fully complete RAM assessments in 2025.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Â
The sprint involved gathering feedback on the first iteration of the RAM and offering up simplifications, which have been incorporated into the newly released v1.1.바카라 사이트¯Â
The sprint was positively received by industry. A broad range of stakeholders contributed a variety of comments and content suggestions for v1.1, including targeted feedback from retailers and brands with large and complex product portfolios.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Â

On 8 April 2025, PackUK sent a final technical draft of RAM v1.1 out to packaging producers. The technical draft aimed to provide stakeholders with as much lead in time as possible, ensuring they can apply the guidance in 2025.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Â
What this means
The RAM methodology will enable large packaging producers to assess the recyclability of their household packaging and produce a red/amber/green output which will inform the level of fee modulation payable for that material from year 2 of pEPR.바카라 사이트¯Â
Producers are required to apply the methodology for household packaging placed on the market from 1 January 2025, with the first reporting deadline being 1 October 2025.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Â
