For Producer Organisations

​​Enterprises that have producer responsibility obligations can set up a producer organisation to discharge the obligations on their behalf. The producer organisation may only include producers as members, and producers may only delegate their obligations to a producer organisation that has been approved to the producer register. For instructions on setting up a producer organisation, see:

• How to handle producer responsibility

• It has a sufficient collection network
• Contracts are in place for waste collection, transport and recycling
• It has provided an account of its financial standing and an action plan to address non-conformities
