<p>We have set a statutory target under The Environmental Targets (Residual Waste)
(England) Regulations 2023 to ensure that the total mass of residual waste (excluding
major mineral wastes) for 2042 does not exceed 287 kg per person. This is the equivalent
of a 50% reduction from 2019 levels.</p><p> </p><p>We are introducing Consistency
in recycling in England. This will give local authorities the legal framework to increase
recycling and in turn, reduce residual waste. We also intend to publish our new Maximising
Resources, Minimising Waste programme this summer. This will set out priorities for
action to manage resources and waste in accordance with the waste hierarchy.</p>
