Recycling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will establish a long-term resource use target through the circular economy strategy.
Answered by Mary Creagh
This Government is committed to moving to a circular economy – a future where we keep our resources in use for longer, waste is reduced, we accelerate the path to net zero. Moving away from the linear make, use and throw model is vital to meeting our Net Zero and Environment Targets. The Government recognises the importance of assessing the impacts of our interventions and will consult on options for this when we publish the proposals for our Circular Economy Strategy for England in the coming autumn.
