Unpacking Policy Reforms: How packaging will pave the way to a circular economy
Join this Government-hosted session to learn more about why packaging is the key to unlocking a circular economy. Experts will unpack how major policy reforms – Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Packaging, Simpler Recycling, and the Deposit Return Scheme – are set to revolutionise the UK’s waste, collection and recycling systems, and accelerate the transition to net zero.
The session will also explore how packaging reform is not only an environmental necessity, but a valuable opportunity to provide community benefits and drive economic growth.
