A Bill to require producers of packaging products to assume responsibility for the collection, transportation, recycling, disposal, treatment and recovery of those products; and for connected purposes.
This bill would make packaging producers take responsibility for the full lifecycle of their packaging, including collection and recycling. It aims to shift the cost and responsibility for packaging waste from taxpayers and councils onto the companies that supply packaging, by creating schemes to fund end‑of‑life treatment and recovery.
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons. After this stage it would move to committee scrutiny, then subsequent readings before possible passage to the House of Lords.
