The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee has launched an inquiry into the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan which was published last month. The Committee will scrutinise the Plan’s objectives and proposals. As part of the inquiry, the Committee has launched a call for written evidence.
ACS's submission addresses four areas of the Government’s Environment Plan including extending the plastic bag charge to small retailers, considering the introduction of a deposit return scheme, consulting on how the tax system could be used to reduce the amount of single-use plastics waste and what changes to the Packaging Recovery Notes (PRN) system would mean for small shops.
