House of Commons
1 November 2007
The Retail Packaging (Recycling) Bill would require certain retailers to offer a free take-back collection point for packaging materials they sell or supply, and to recycle or dispose of those materials safely. It places responsibility on retailers for the packaging they put into the market with the aim of reducing waste and boosting recycling. The bill defines which retailers are covered and how the collection points should operate.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to committee stage.
