Packaging: Recycling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the impacts of EPR on the glass sector, including in Central Ayrshire.
Answered by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Defra continues to engage extensively with the glass manufacturing sector to understand the impacts on them. Through modulation, more recyclable materials, such as glass, will benefit from discounted fees, from Year 2 of pEPR (2026/2027) onwards. Defra, alongside PackUK and the devolved governments, continues to engage with industry to monitor and support implementation of the Regulations.
