New Packaging Digest

Perchards has added a new element to its packaging information service. To complement the regular news items posted on our website, we will be publishing a regular digest of packaging information, most of which will later be incorporated into the full packaging updates. The idea is to ensure that subscribers receive timely information that might not have been covered by a regular news item. From time to time we will also include news from countries outside Europe.

Subscribers can access the digest by logging into the Packaging Information Service.

 

Perchards WEEE information service
