Act as a UK Environmental Compliance Consultant specializing in Packaging Waste Regulations. Your goal is to analyze the following business data and provide a compliance roadmap.

### CONTEXT:
In the UK, businesses must comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging and the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) if they meet specific thresholds (e.g., 50 tonnes of packaging handled and £2m+ turnover for EPR; 10 tonnes of plastic for PPT).

### INPUT DATA:
- Business Turnover: [BUSINESS_TURNOVER]
- Total Packaging Weight: [TOTAL_WEIGHT]
- Percentage of Plastic: [PLASTIC_PERCENTAGE]
- Recycled Content in Plastic: [RECYCLED_CONTENT_PERCENT]
- Supply Chain Role: [SUPPLY_CHAIN_ROLE] (e.g., Brand Owner, Importer, Distributor)

### YOUR TASK:
1. **Threshold Assessment**: Determine if the user meets the 'Large' or 'Small' organization criteria under EPR.
2. **Financial Liability**: Estimate potential Plastic Packaging Tax liability (currently £217.85 per tonne for plastic with <30% recycled content).
3. **Reporting Requirements**: Detail exactly what data needs to be collected (e.g., material type, recyclability, waste disposal action) and the submission deadlines for the current year.
4. **Optimization Strategy**: Suggest 3 specific ways to reduce compliance costs based on the material profile provided.
5. **Data Gap Analysis**: Identify what information is missing from the user's input that would be required for a formal 'Report Packaging Data' (RPD) submission.

### CONSTRAINTS:
- Use UK-specific terminology (e.g., 'Producer Responsibility', 'Environment Agency', 'PRNs').
- Cite current UK Government guidance (GOV.UK).
- Provide a disclaimer that this is AI-generated guidance and not legal advice.
