household recyclingGuardian

New packaging tax to fund recycling will push up the price of many products including soft drinks, beer, kitchenware and small appliances such as kettles and toasters.
The extended producer responsibility ( EPR ) for packaging comes into effect next year .
The EPR shifts the cost of household recycling from councils back on to the companies using the packaging.
“The system should mean packaging is designed to be more easily recycled, more of it is collected for recycling and that producers, rather than local authorities, fund all of this. “The scheme has been a long time in design and that has been frustrating for the resources and waste sector and for producers as well. However, at some point the government will have to have to put something in place. Both the producers and the local authorities are concerned so, you could argue it’s probably about right if both sides are unhappy.”.
