The Labour Party has announced that they will co-sponsor the Green Party’s Waste Reduction Bill, and will use its Private Members’ slot this Tuesday to debate the legislation.
We want to help householders lower their waste bills by reducing the amount of waste materials at source. The implementation of a deposit refund scheme and the ban of plastic cups will take a few years and will have to be cleverly integrated into the existing Repak recycling system.
We are convinced this can be done in a way which increases recycling, reduces litter, saves the householder money and wins public support for protecting our environment
