IEMA - Focus on the Resources & Waste Strategy for England: Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging / Consistency in Business Recycling

In this session we provided an overview of the impact on business of recent UK policy proposals connected to extended producer responsibility for packaging and measures to support consistency in business recycling in England. By joining the session attendees will gain case study examples and best practices to replicate in their own organisations. In December 2018, the Government released the Resources & Waste Strategy, announcing its plan to address resource efficiency and the “market failure” of waste production. Two years on, the government has put forward a second series of consultations with policy proposals connected to UK-wide extended producer responsibility for packaging as well as measures supporting consistency in business recycling in England. Speakers Dr Adam Read, External Affairs Director, Suez; George Atkinson, Policy Manager, Valpak Limited; Martin Hyde, Policy Lead, Comply Direct
