THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER OF PACKAGING PYR LTD COMPILES PACKAGING STATISTICS

PYR annually collects data from firms under contract concerning the packaging they have placed on the market. PYR processes all the data it has received in strict confidence. Only total volumes are used in reporting and in the statistics to be published.

PYR sends the packaging statistics to the authorities. Only the data on firms that is defined by law or other official decisions is passed on for official use.

The Association of Packaging Technology and Research PTR is used in compiling the statistics. For further information see the PTR's website.

The latest official packaging statistics are published on PYR’s website annually at the beginning of July. The delayed date of publication of the statistics is not due to PYR. The reason for this is due to the practice established in Europe stating that the official data for each year is sent to Brussels eighteen months after the closing of the year.
