<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>
