The Environmental Services Association (ESA) has called for more work to stimulate the demand for recycled material.
In addition, other industry bodies have also called for more to be done, despite welcoming the Plan. The 25 year Environment Strategy was released last week, in which there was a pledge to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste by 2042. Other plans in the strategy include an extension of the 5p carrier bag charge to all retailers, plastic free aisles in supermarkets and working closer with industry to collect more plastic.
