It has established steps that can be taken to remove CSUP from new and existing contracts with departments at neutral cost, in support of this commitment.</p><p>The elimination scheme took effect from 1 August 2018, enabling departments and supply chains (including those related to waste management) to phase in alternatives to CSUP in time for the ban coming into force. Government’s FM suppliers report that these steps are helping lead many of their private sector clients to adopt similar plastics elimination measures.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 04/07/2019 15:45:11 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
