Panel Discussion: The Big Responsibility Debate Part 1: Can we keep costs under control

Trusted advisors and session Chair’s Martin & Jane, will be asking the panel all the questions you may have surrounding the cost of EPR and DRS: How much will modulation shift cost distribution and how can you manage your packaging portfolio to avoid high cost options, what will labelling and consumer education investment be to make recycling effective and avoid rising modulation fees, who will pay – shareholders or consumers, will producers need to supplement collections until councils adopt consistent collections, what’s the inter-play between EPR and DRS, will the data be good enough to ensure modulation works properly, what are the implications for brands of treating each UK nation as a separate market.
