Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department asked the Office for the Internal Market for advice on the potential impact of agreeing to the Welsh Government's exclusion from the internal market for single-use glass containers in the Deposit Return Scheme in Wales. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The UK Government did not refer the Welsh Government's proposal for a UKIM exclusion for its Deposit Return Scheme to the Office for Internal Market (OIM) for advice. As part of our commitments in the review of the UK Internal Market Act in 2025, the UK Government is working with devolved Governments to implement a system for joint referrals by all Governments to the OIM for advice, earlier in policy development and to inform the decision-making process. |

Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how glass containers subject to a 0p deposit under the Deposit Return Scheme in Wales between 2027-2031 will be identified as (a) separate to packaging obligated for Extended Producer Responsibility in the rest of the UK. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Following the launch of the DRS in Wales in October 2027, glass drinks in scope of DRS sold into Wales will fall out of the packaging EPR system and no longer have household recycling fee obligations. Instead, they will be captured by the Welsh Government’s DRS regulations. PackUK is working closely with the Welsh Government to confirm processes and enable producers to report materials into the correct scheme. |

Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Welsh Deposit Return Scheme adopting (a) a unique exemption threshold for single-use glass of 25 tonnes and (b) not including (i) turnover in exemption thresholds or (ii) alignment with the Low Volume Exemption on (A)UK interoperability and (B) producers. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) We have not carried out an impact assessment on Welsh Government devolved policy. |

Packaging: Recycling
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what her Department's planned timeframe is to (a) consult on and (b) legislate for additional criteria for the exemption of non-household waste from Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fees and obligations. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) We are continuing to work with stakeholders on the treatment of dual-use packaging and packaging that is unlikely to enter the household waste stream. There is no date set for consultation or legislation at this stage for any additional criteria for exemption from packaging Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fee obligations. Any future changes would need to be workable, enforceable, and protect the operational integrity of the scheme across all business models. |

The temporary exemption from disposal fees before the Deposit Return Scheme goes live in 2027 applies to steel, aluminium, and PET plastic drinks containers. |

Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential impact of the arrangements for excluding non-household waste from Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fees and obligation on businesses. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Secretary of State has discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues, including packaging Extended Producer Responsibility’s impact on businesses. We are aware of industry concerns about producers being charged disposal fees for packaging that is disposed of through commercial waste streams, and we continue to work with stakeholders to find an approach that balances those concerns with the operational integrity of the scheme. |
