Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour), on Wednesday, 4 December 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 98 members in total.
PACKAGING WASTE REGULATIONS
That this House supports moves to increase the recovery and recycling of packaging waste; welcomes the forthcoming Packaging Waste Regulations; reaffirms the commitment to the shared responsibility' principle whereby all parts of the packaging chain undertake to help recover and recycle packaging waste; notes with concern that the regulations as currently drafted allow for some parts of the packaging chain to substantially evade this shared responsibility; further notes that this imposes costs elsewhere in the packaging chain, weakens the ability of industry-wide compliance schemes such as VALPAK to operate successfully and jeopardises overall recovery and recycling targets; and calls upon the Government to amend the regulations to ensure that all parts of the packaging chain are treated equitably.
