Packaging Declaration of Conformity (UK & EU)
Download Packaging Declaration
Camira Group Holdings Ltd, The Watermill, Wheatley Park, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, WF14 8HE, United Kingdom, and its subsidiaries (together, “Camira”), are committed to ensuring that packaging materials are managed responsibly and in compliance with all applicable legislation. Camira declares, under its sole responsibility, that the packaging identified within this Declaration of Conformity has been assessed against the applicable requirements of:
- The Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 2015
- The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024
- The Plastic Packaging Tax (Descriptions of Products) Regulations 2021
- Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR)
- European Union (Packaging) Regulations 2014
- The Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2011
This declaration applies to packaging used for the distribution, protection, handling and sale of Camira products, as identified in Annex 1 and supported by the technical documentation referenced within this document.
Conformity is declared to the best of Camira’s knowledge and is based on supplier information, internal assessments and supporting documentary evidence maintained within the relevant technical files.
Camira handles over 50 tonnes of packaging annually and seeks to fulfil applicable producer responsibility, recycling and recovery obligations for packaging materials imported, packed, managed and supplied within relevant jurisdictions. Where required, Camira reports packaging data to the relevant authorities and pays applicable regulatory fees and contributions relating to packaging waste management. Compliance arrangements are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis as regulatory requirements and business activities evolve.
N.B. Tertiary packaging, including wooden pallets, warp beams, yarn cones and plastic tri-wall boxes, is generally retained within closed businessto-business logistics systems and is therefore excluded from the scope of this conformity assessment. Where practicable, reusable transport and raw material packaging is returned for reuse. As some Camira products may be sold directly to end users through digital sales channels, packaging formats that may enter household waste streams have been assessed for both business and consumer use scenarios.
Packaging Minimisation Statement
The packaging used by Camira Group Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries and covered by this declaration has been designed and specified to minimise packaging weight and volume whilst maintaining product protection, handling requirements, transport safety and product integrity. Where reasonably practicable, Camira seeks to use recyclable and reusable packaging materials and increase recycled content whilst ensuring that packaging remains fit for its intended purpose. Packaging performance, material selection and packaging specifications are reviewed periodically to identify opportunities to reduce packaging consumption, eliminate unnecessary packaging materials and improve resource efficiency. Camira is committed to the continual review and improvement of its packaging arrangements, taking account of operational, environmental and regulatory requirements, with the aim of reducing the environmental impacts associated with packaging materials and packaging waste.

1UK Recyclability – Assessed using Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) published by PackUK, the Scheme Administrator for UK Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging.
2 EU Recyclability – Assessments are based on available supplier information and recyclability data. Ratings may be revised as further PPWR guidance, delegated acts and harmonised standards become available.
3 Heavy metals - Based on supplier declarations and supporting documentation, the combined concentration of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) does not exceed 100 mg/kg (100 ppm) by weight, where declared. “Compliant” indicates supplier confirmation that the applicable limit is met. “Assessment Pending” indicates that no specific declaration has yet been provided by the supplier.
4 PFAS - Camira maintains supplier declarations and internal records relating to the intentional use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) within the packaging materials covered by this declaration. Where available, supplier PFAS declarations are referenced in the supporting technical file. “Not Intentionally Added” indicates supplier confirmation that PFAS have not been intentionally added. “Not Declared” indicates that no specific declaration has yet been provided by the supplier.
