Manufacture of lime and plaster
Plaster and lime manufacturers use heavy paper sacks, plastic-lined bags, and pallet wrap. The weight of packaging relative to product is low, but high volumes mean significant tonnage. EPR obligations cover all packaging supplied with the product including sack closures, pallet wrap, and any printed product information attached to the packaging.
