The National Packaging Waste Database (NPWD) is a web-based database supported by the Environment Agency, Defra, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Northern Ireland Environment and Heritage Service (NIEHS), the Advisory Committee on Packaging, companies obligated by the packaging regulations, reprocessors, exporters and compliance schemes.
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. The next major development is due for September 2007 and will allow online accreditation of reprocessors and exporters. NPWD provides the following functionality:
- on-line registration for producers registering directly with an agency
- on-line registration for compliance schemes
- 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
- public registers and reports.
