Glass: Recycling

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential implications for his policies of trends in glass volumes reported through the Extended Producer Responsibility data portal in the first six months of 2024.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The glass volume data reported through the Extended Producer Responsibility data portal in the first six months of 2024 does not cover a long enough period for trends to be identifiable. An assessment of the trends in glass volumes will be made once sufficient data has been gathered and this assessment will be based both on the data from the portal and other reliable sources we may identify.
