In the UK, Valpak has launched its new forum for the recycling industry with a rallying cry from reprocessors, supporting the recently announced DEFRA investigation into the alleged inappropriate issuing of PRNs. Their comments – added to the new forum area of the Valpak website – include: “this cancer of fraudulent PRN generation must be eradicated”, and “we simply do not believe that the figures for UK PRN activity in 2002 are credible”.

The Valpak Forum is a platform from which key industry players can make comments and opinions known on a variety of relevant issues. Valpak is the UK’s largest compliance scheme serving over 5,000 companies.
