12.7 Environmental Benefits<br />

12.7.1 Benefits in Terms <strong>of</strong> Prevention<br />

We are not aware <strong>of</strong> any study which looks at the extent to which the Regulations<br />

have:<br />

� Encouraged prevention / re-use; and / or<br />

� Encouraged switching from one packaging material to another.<br />

Over the period from 2001-2007, packaging waste quantities have grown at an<br />

average compound rate <strong>of</strong> 3.2%. The effect by material is quite different, with some<br />

materials showing much higher growth than others (see Table 12-3). This reflects the<br />

linked effects <strong>of</strong> changing consumption patterns and the effect <strong>of</strong> economic growth.<br />
