We intend to publish the new national Litter Strategy for England this year. We have worked with a range of stakeholders to develop the strategy, including businesses and other organisations such as the Marine Conservation Society. This will build on the existing measures set out in the UK Marine Strategy that contribute to preventing waste and litter entering the marine environment.
