The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will review the current Extended Producer Responsibility framework.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The previous Government consulted on the principles, objectives, and proposals for extended producer responsibility in 2019 and 2021, and these received high levels of support. We continue to work closely with the devolved governments, environmental regulators, and industry to review the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging with a view to introducing amendments to the scheme.
