Defra has today (5 December 2024) announced that it will be cancelling its plans to mandate a takeback scheme for single-use cups in England.
A Defra spokesperson said that analysis has found that the mandatory takeback scheme would “not have the intended impact on boosting recycling rates and reducing litter”.Plans for the scheme were inherited by the Labour government from the previous Conservative administration.
Defra said that the scheme was set to cost the government and industry £52 million – which it said represented an “unnecessary burden” on business. More of this article (Let's Recycle) - link - more like this (paper cups) - link - more like this (take back schemes) - link
