<p>The Resources and Waste Strategy sets out our ambition to eliminate avoidable waste.
We welcome initiatives which keep waste out of landfill, such as reusable nappy schemes,
whilst recognising the importance of wider environmental considerations such as energy
usage. The Government is carrying out research on nappies that will look at such issues
as the relative energy, water and waste impacts of the alternatives.</p><p> </p><p>We
are exploring policy options in line with our commitment in the strategy and will
develop proposals in due course for a range of individual products, including disposable
hygiene products. This will involve in-depth discussions with industry and other stakeholders.</p><p>
