Companies placing under 20 tonnes of packaging a year are exempt from the data-audit requirement, but not from reporting itself.

Wat u moet doen
Register as a packaging undertaking (or contract with a producer-responsibility organisation) with the packaging register, track packaging volumes placed on the market, and file the annual report by 31 March. If you place 20+ tonnes/year, arrange the required data audit before filing.
