Producer Responsibility Training - primarily Packaging Regulations

Outline Programme

• The Training Course would normally take approximately 6-7 hours including stops for coffee and lunch.
• Whilst the course will be based on a large number of Powerpoint slides, its main benefit for delegates comes through debate and discussion to relate the issues to delegate’s own experiences and scenarios.
• We would normally finish with a brief test paper to give delegates an opportunity to see what they may have misunderstood.
• Certificates of Attendance are normally provided for each delegate at the end of the course.

The topics below are covered in our standard course conducted at our facility in Sileby, Leicestershire. The programme is primarily focussed on the Packaging Regulations which take up the majority of the time. WEEE and Batteries are covered more briefly if there is time and delegates wish to hear about these.

This programme can be modified to meet specific requirements where the course is to be conducted at a client’s premises.
