Our consultation on \u2018consistency in household and business recycling collections in England\u2019 sought views on how to do this. One of the proposals in the consultation was for all collectors of waste to collect a core set of materials from households and businesses. We believe that if the same core set of materials was collected for recycling there would be less confusion among householders and members of public about what can be recycled. As a result, both the quantity and quality of recycling would increase.<\/p> <\/p> We are currently analysing responses to the consultation and will publish the Government\u2019s response to it shortly.<\/p> <\/p>"}

The publication of the Strategy, setting out the long-term policy environment will encourage and support the required investment.<\/p> <\/p> Specific measures taken by the Government that are already supporting the creation of new recycling infrastructure include:<\/p> <\/p> - £4.7m of grant funding, which was announced on 12 June and made available through the Waste and Resources Action Programme, to support new capital infrastructure projects that will help to recycle difficult plastic packaging and textile materials.

<\/p> - The packaging waste producer responsibility scheme, which raised £130 million in 2018 through the purchase by producers of packaging waste recovery and export notes. Just under £82 million of this supported the development of infrastructure. Proposed reforms will support the development of new and improved recycling infrastructure.<\/li><\/ul>
<\/p> - Investment of £3 billion of grant funding in 24 Private Finance Initiative waste infrastructure projects. These grants support infrastructure including material recovery, mechanical biological treatment and anaerobic digestion facilities, as well as implementation and expanding kerbside recycling services.<\/li><\/ul>"}
