Local Authority Engagement Forum
A new engagement forum has been set up to keep Local Authorities and Representing Bodies informed of waste reforms and associated delivery projects. The Defra Collections and Packaging Reforms programme includes, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) and Consistency.
This new two way forum will be;
- an opportunity for you to hear updates and progress on the three projects
- an opportunity to discuss the delivery projects and help us understand what is required to make them work together
- an opportunity for Local Authorities and representing bodies to ask questions, be part of testing proposals and guidance, research, inputting into policies, processes etc.
As a reminder
- Extended Producer Responsibility is being delivered UK wide with the four nations working jointly to achieve this.
- The Deposit Return Scheme is being delivered together in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
- The Consistency project is England only.
