Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her department has made of the potential merits of working with The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency on producing medical blister packaging that is easy to recycle, without compromising safety.

Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging incentivises producers to use more recyclable packaging. Defra, PackUK, and the Department of Health and Social Care are working to support industry on how they comply with the regulations. Any changes to medicine packaging must maintain product safety and comply with relevant regulatory requirements.
