Packaging: Recycling
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when her Department plans to publish a proposed interim solution to the exemption process for non-household waste under Extended Producer Responsibility regulations.
- Answer
-
Defra is working closely with stakeholders on potential changes to the household packaging definition in the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) regulations, including interim and longer-term approaches to dual-use packaging. No final date has been set for any proposed interim solution.
Any changes would need to be workable, enforceable, and protect the operational integrity of the scheme across different supply chains and business models.
