DEFRA are currently establishing the Scheme Administrator (SA) for the packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) Scheme and require a Delivery Lead to manage the creation and management of the Efficiency & Effectiveness (E&E) Service.
The new UK pEPR scheme will launch in 2024 and its administrator will bring together talented individuals who are passionate about recycling and the environment. It will transform our current linear economic model of ‘take, make, use, throw’ into a circular economy. In a circular economy, resources will be kept in use as long as possible, maximising the value gained; resources will be used more efficiently; and waste will be minimised, and so will the impacts that inefficient resource use has on our environment and society.
The successful candidate will support the Fees & Calculator Payment Team in establishing and managing the infrastructure required to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of 440 Local Authorities across the 4 Nations.
