question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much money has been made available to increase recycling from (a) residential waste and (b) trade waste.
tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	231994
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The government has committed to increase the recycling of packaging waste and the recyclability of packaging. The recent Resources and Waste Strategy announced that the government would improve recycling rates by ensuring a consistent set of dry recyclable materials is collected from all households and businesses and that every householder and appropriate businesses have a weekly separate food waste collection. For packaging waste, we will invoke the ‘polluter pays’ principle and extended producer responsibility for packaging, ensuring that producers pay the full net costs of managing packaging waste at end of life. Government will also ensure that local authorities are resourced to meet the new net costs arising from policies within the Resources and Waste Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/03/2019 17:04:49 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
