Our consultation, \u2018<a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/waste-and-recycling-making-recycling-collections-consistent-in-england\" target=\"_blank\">Consistency in Household and Business Recycling Collections in England<\/a>,\u2019 which closes on 13 May, seeks views on waste collectors collecting a set of core materials for recycling from homes and businesses. Waste generated by households and businesses can however include materials that are \u2018difficult to recycle\u2019. Waste composition is expected to change over time and recycling technology is expected to improve. The core set of materials collected by local authorities therefore may need to change to include materials that were in the past \u2018difficult to recycle\u2019. Any new burdens on local authorities will be funded by the Government, though it is expected that the secondary market for plastics will be stimulated by the reform of the current packaging regulations as set out in the Resources and Waste strategy and the proposed plastic packaging tax.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Taken together, these measures will help to reduce the amount of hard to recycle materials in waste and to increase recycling overall.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
