The noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh, asked how councils will be communicating with households. We think that local authorities are the organisations best placed to communicate the new collection requirements to residents when they are rolling out the services. To support this, we will provide transitional resource funding for food waste communications. Under the extended producer responsibility for packaging, producers will contribute to the costs of public information and any campaigns around packaging waste. We will continue to consider the most appropriate approach to supporting local authorities and other waste collectors with public engagement and communications related to the simpler recycling collections in England and will be providing further guidance on this in due course.
