REDUCING PACKAGING

That this House notes with concern the excessive levels of packaging used by manufacturers and retailers; urges supermarkets to reduce packaging, to encourage the re-use of plastic bags, to recycle packaging waste and to encourage suppliers to reduce packaging further up the supply chain; and believes that, to further those objectives, retailers should be required to provide free of charge a collection point for any packaging materials sold or supplied by them and should be required to recycle them or safely to dispose of such materials.
