<p>In the recently published Resources and Waste Strategy, the Government stated its
ambition to further improve domestic reprocessing, and committed to several policies
to help stimulate investment in UK reprocessing capacity and improve competitiveness.
These policies, subject to consultation, include: implementing extended producer responsibility
for various waste streams; introducing a deposit return scheme for drinks containers;
raising recycling targets for plastic and other types of packaging; implementing a
tax on plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled content; and exploring options
to ensure fair competition for all reprocessors, including tighter monitoring and
enforcement of waste exports.</p>
