The Plastic Pollution Bill would set targets to reduce plastic pollution, require the government to publish a national strategy and annual progress reports, and establish an advisory committee to guide policy. It aims to reduce litter and microplastics and to improve how plastic waste is managed.
It has completed its first reading and is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
