Proceeding contribution from Gavin Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party) 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

There is obviously a benefit to incentivisation. That used to happen with glass bottles, which people got 10p for returning. Does the hon. Gentleman believe that the coffee companies that sell reusable cups in the hope that people will bring them back and fill them up should similarly incentivise the use of those cups by reducing what they charge? That might encourage people to change their mindset and not discard everything that they are given but retain and reuse things.
