tabling member constituency	Newcastle-under-Lyme
tabling member printed	Paul Farrelly
uin	81
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2019 answer text <p>Packaging materials, including polystyrene, are already covered by the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations which place a legal obligation on businesses that make or use packaging to ensure that a proportion of the packaging they sell is recovered and recycled. This creates an incentive for companies to use less packaging and to ensure that their packaging can be recycled at end of life as it will reduce their costs in complying with the Regulations.</p><p>In general, we prefer to help people and companies make the right choice, rather than banning items outright. We have, however, recently consulted on changes to the packaging producer responsibility scheme, looking at all aspects of the regime including mechanisms to encourage increased recyclability.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow grouped question UIN 125 question first answered 17/10/2019 15:25:14 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
