The pharmaceutical industry often finds itself entangled in the complexities of compliance and regulation, making it a daunting task for businesses to stay ahead of regulatory requirements. One common pitfall that many companies encounter is realizing they should be complying with the Packaging Regulations but haven't yet. This oversight can feel like swallowing a bitter pill.

Many firms express confusion about the Packaging Regulations because their name—The Producer Responsibility Packaging Waste Regulations—suggests they are focused solely on managing waste generated by the company. However, this is a misconception. In reality, these regulations impose a 'tax' on the packaging used for goods.

These regulations apply to companies with an annual turnover exceeding £2 million that handle packaging materials for their products. Since all medicines and medical equipment are packaged to ensure sterility, this means even these items fall under the category of obligated packaging. For businesses unaware of these rules, the consequences can be severe, including potential enforcement actions and public backlash. Yet, there's hope! Companies that inadvertently fail to comply can rectify the situation through an out-of-court settlement with the Environment Agency called an Enforcement Undertaking. This approach prevents the escalation to criminal proceedings.

Kite specializes in guiding companies toward compliance through its government-accredited compliance scheme. They assist businesses in understanding their responsibilities: what steps are necessary to achieve compliance, completing required assessments, and registering packaging tax returns with the Environment Agency. If a company has missed prior years of compliance, Kite can also help draft and submit an Enforcement Undertaking to address past oversights and avoid legal trouble.

While discovering non-compliance can feel like a bitter experience, Kite might just be the solution to smooth things over and get your business back on track.
