The Development of NPWD
NPWD has been rolled out in a number of phases. Phase one went live on 1 April 2006 and allowed the online submission of quarterly returns by reprocessors and exporters. Phase two went live on the 1 February 2007 and allowed compliance schemes and direct registrants to register with us online. A further major development was in September 2007 which allowed reprocessors and exporters to apply for accreditation online . In spring 2008 extra functionality on monitoring of free-riders was added.
NPWD provides the following functionality:
- on-line registration for producers registering directly with an agency
- on-line registration for compliance schemes
- on-line accreditation of reprocessors and exporters
- issuing of 'Electronic Packaging Waste Recovery Notes' (ePRNs) and 'Electronic Packaging Waste Export Recovery Notes' (ePERNs) (from February 2007 ePRNs and ePERNs are the only evidence the agencies will accept for the fulfilment of producers obligations)
- on-line submission of quarterly returns by reprocessors and exporters
- electronic statements and certificates of compliance
- compliance monitoring of producers, schemes, reprocessors and exporters by the Agencies
- free-rider monitoring
- public registers and reports.
