We call on the new Government to commit to its predecessor’s welcome decision to use some of the money generated via its reforms to support investment in recycling capacity. We recommend that the expected infrastructure roadmap—anticipated in late 2022—provides detailed information about how much investment will be provided over what time scale, and identify key areas of government and private investment. As a minimum, it must deliver at least as much investment as the current Packaging Waste Recovery Note system generates for the sector. Type: recommendation | Number: 18 | Paragraph: 83 | Response status: not_addressed Government response: We welcome the Committee’s comments. The government is committed to making the UK a world leader in tackling plastic waste and we want to transform how we deal with waste and resources. We are committed to supporting investment in UK infrastructure to ensure we can manage our waste more sustainably.
