  • More than three billion are either incinerated, sent to landfill or left to pollute the streets, countryside and marine environment
  • A consultation period taking into account views from producers, suppliers and consumers will follow
  • The consultation will sit alongside a package of wider reforms of the current packaging waste system
  • Will incentivize producers to take greater responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products and to increase the amount of packaging they recycle
