Key proposals in the Strategy include:
• Enforcement action will be made easier against manufacturers of excess and unnecessary packaging, and consumers will be encouraged to report excessive packaging to Trading Standards;
• The recyclability of packaging will be improved and clear guidance will be provided for manufacturers with recyclability in mind;
• The use of refillable and reusable packaging should be expanded;
• The Government will work with local authorities and packaging producers to improve household recycling services; and
• Banning of some materials, such as aluminium and glass, from landfill is being considered.
