United front presented to recycling reforms

Together with more than 40 packaging trade associations, manufacturers and retailers, British Glass has signed a letter from INCPEN (Industry Council for Packaging and the Environment) to UK Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Michael Gove. The letter outlines issues surrounding the Government’s proposed packaging recycling reforms, which include the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility and a Deposit Return Scheme. It is hoped that this letter will present a united front of organisations from across a number of different sectors on the sequencing of the forthcoming reforms, with an emphasis on implementing EPR before a DRS is considered.
