Recommendation
We also recommend that other government targets be revised to reflect and implement the waste hierarchy. These changes should cover: • Reducing the volume of plastic that is put on the market. Where plastic is replaced with other materials, the new Government should commit to monitoring whether those replacement materials are more sustainable. • Reuse targets to increase the market share of reusable plastic products, particularly packaging. • Recycling rate targets that measure how much packaging is actually recycled, rather than whether it is theoretically recyclable.
