We’re looking for two enthusiastic and proactive individuals to join Producer Responsibility Regulatory Service (PRRS).

To ensure the UK complies with targets we:

• issue advice and guidance;
• register producer and compliance scheme obligations;
• permit operators to issue evidence of recovery/recycling;
