The Government recognises that innovation into biodegradable and compostable packaging could help reduce the environmental impacts of packaging if it is disposed of in the right way. However, currently this is often not the case. If biodegradable packaging is put in the domestic waste bin, for example, it is likely to end up in landfill and can break down to release powerful greenhouse gases, such as methane. If biodegradable plastic is mistakenly recycled with other plastics, it has the potential to damage the quality of the new products made from the recycled plastic.<\/p>

<\/p>

As a consequence of these concerns, the Government published a call for evidence in July 2019 to help consider the development of standards or certification criteria for all bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable plastics to better understand their effects on the environment and our current waste system. As we develop our proposals to reform the packaging producer responsibility system we will consider the role of composting, informed by the outputs of this work.<\/p>

<\/p>

Building on commitments in the Resources and Waste Strategy we launched a consultation earlier this year on reforming the packaging producer responsibility system, which proposed a mandatory UK-wide labelling system that provides clear information to help people to recycle. Defra officials are exploring how a mandatory labelling scheme can address consumer confusion about what to do with compostable packaging. We will take primary powers in the Environment Bill to enable us to implement a mandatory labelling scheme.

In response to PQ290397 Defra Group already procures 88% of the energy used in 2018/19 from renewable sources. In the core Department this rises to 99.9%. The Core Department\u2019s energy policy states it will purchase renewable electricity from the Crown Commercial Services Electricity Frameworks.<\/p>

<\/p>

The only reason the Core Department utilises non-renewable electricity is where the landlord purchases the electricity for a leased site and then recharges the Core Department.<\/p>

Implementing the outcome of the referendum to leave the EU raises significant issues for farmers and agrifood businesses. Whilst the Government\u2019s preference is to leave with an agreement, we have been working hard taking steps to ensure people and businesses are prepared in the event that this is not possible. This includes: publishing numerous pieces of communications since August 2018, including technical notices explaining to businesses and citizens across the UK what they need to do to prepare; and contacting thousands of businesses who trade with the EU, telling them to start getting ready for no-deal customs procedures.<\/p>
