Proceeding contribution from Mark Pawsey (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Non-recyclable and Non-compostable Packaging.
Non-recyclable and Non-compostable Packaging
The hon. Gentleman could start me off on coffee cups, but I will deal with them later in my remarks. We are talking about consumer choice, and we need an informed consumer. To go back to the Easter egg example, if we wanted only to give people a bit of nice chocolate, we would simply give them a chocolate bar. We do not do that; we choose to give them an Easter egg. In the same way, people choose to buy the Nespresso-type coffee because that is how they like their coffee. We need to find alternative delivery mechanisms that do not give rise to the same level of packaging waste.
