On Thursday, September 5, the British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA) will host a Retailer Liaison Group meeting, highlighting key sustainability and regulatory updates for those operating within and connected to the UK retail sector.
Hosted online from 10 am until 1 pm GMT, the meeting will cover a plethora of discussion points, including updates on the UK’s Aerosol Filling Figures for 2023, BAMA’s work with the Dept. for Trade & Business, and the latest developments on Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations (EPR) and the UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
The meeting will underline key sustainability topics, including how retailers can help enable a system for refillable aerosols and support the reduction of NMVOC emissions from aerosols. The UK Aerosol Recycling Initiative from Alupro, plus details of the research carried out by University groups examining indoor and outdoor air quality are also on the agenda.
During the meeting, updates on the latest “BAMA Standard for Consumer Safety and Good Manufacturing Practice” will be provided, and directions on how retailers can gain free access to the guidance will be given.
BAMA Chief Executive, Patrick Heskins said, “The BAMA Standard offers valuable guidance for retailers on areas such as consumer labelling and the disposal and transportation of aerosols.
“We welcome anyone who would like to attend the meeting to bring along their questions on the guidance we offer, or on any of the areas covered in our Retailer Liaison Group agenda.”
