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

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to their Resources and Waste Strategy for England, published on 18 December 2018, what plans they have to move from a weight-based target system for recycling towards an impact-based system; and what support they will provide to local authorities to achieve this.

The Government is seeking views on alternatives to weight based targets as part of its consultation on Consistency in Household and Business Recycling Collections in England. This consultation ends on 13 May.
