Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 December 2025

Debate

Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

They set out two simple priorities: first, ensuring that EPR revenue reduces taxpayer funding for waste services, rather than simply layering new costs on to producers while councils maintain or increase council tax levels; and, secondly, double-charging, particularly the situation where breweries pass on glass-related EPR costs to pubs, and pubs then also pay waste disposal fees for the same material.
