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 plans to implement proposed circular economy reforms; and when she plans to publish the Circular Economy Growth Plan.

The Government is committed to transitioning towards a circular economy where resources are kept in use for longer and waste is designed out. This systemic change, with investment in green jobs and vital infrastructure, builds a path to economic growth, progress towards Net Zero, restoration of nature and a more resilient economy. We established a Circular Economy Task Force to co-design our approach and will outline our next steps shortly.
