Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that its data on levels of packaging waste is accurate.
We have commissioned an update to the research, known as PackFlow, to ascertain the level of packaging and packaging waste generated annually in the UK. It is intended to set a new baseline for packaging placed on the market in 2022 and projections based on this for future years until 2027. This report is due in December.
