London firm fined £50,000 for packaging waste transgression

'Green' London wine merchant Berkmann Wine Cellars has been fined nearly £50,000 under the Producer Responsibility Obligations for failing to recover and recycle more than 2,800 tonnes of packaging waste. The firm stumped up fines and costs to the Environment Agency for failing to register as a producer of packaging and for failing to meet its requirements to recover and recycle packaging waste from 1999 to 2005. The PRO requires firms with a turnover of more than £2m that handle more than 50 tonnes of packaging each year to contribute to UK recycling targets for packaging waste.
