Ecosurety Director appointed to PackUK Steering Group

Our Innovation and Policy Director, Robbie Staniforth, has been appointed as a permanent member of the PackUK Scheme Administrator Steering Group. 

As the only person on the body with compliance scheme experience, he brings a unique perspective to discussions that will shape the packaging industry.

What is PackUK?

PackUK is the scheme administrator for the UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) programme. To guide its work, PackUK will bring together experts from across the packaging value chain to form four advisory bodies supporting the Scheme Administrator Executive Committee (SA ExCo).

The Scheme Administrator Steering Group is one of these bodies and will provide strategic insight and recommendations to drive the improvement of the pEPR system.

Robbie reappointed to steer PackUK’s next chapter

Robbie served on the Steering Group that formed to stand up PackUK for 18 months. His renewed, permanent appointment underscores his expertise and the value of his contributions to national policy development.

Strengthening communications and behaviour change

This news follows the recent appointment of our Discovery Manager Gareth Morton to the PackUK Communications and Behaviour Change Advisory Group. This group plays a vital role in shaping impactful communication strategies and behaviour change initiatives, ensuring that PackUK’s work resonates with industry stakeholders and the public alike. 

Driving industry change

These appointments highlight Robbie and Gareth’s industry leadership and ongoing commitment to shaping packaging policy. Being directly involved in PackUK’s advisory bodies allows them to champion best practice, contribute to the development of robust systems, and help shape a more circular packaging future for the UK.

We congratulate Robbie and Gareth on their appointments and look forward to the impact they will deliver in these important roles.
