Motion text

That this House recognises the importance of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in reducing packaging waste, tackling plastic pollution and increasing recycling rates; supports the principle that producers should pay for the packaging they place on the market; notes, however, that many businesses are not complying with their responsibilities; underlines that this creates an unfair playing field which advantages non-compliant businesses; highlights that the shortage of Packaging Recovery Notes has led to businesses having to pay even more to comply with EPR; and calls on the Government to level the playing field to ensure that businesses do not feel punished for being compliant.
