ADEPT response to National Audit Office resources and waste reforms report
Steve Palfrey, Chair of ADEPT's Waste Group said: "ADEPT welcomes this report from the National Audit Office (NAO) and I want to thank them for offering ADEPT the opportunity to contribute.
"The NAO has clearly set out how the government needs to progress implementation at pace to deliver against its commitments, and we agree that this continued delay is really unhelpful. Contrary to calls from some producers, it is critical we introduce extended producer responsibility if we are truly committed to developing a circular economy, and we share the NAO's concerns about deposit return schemes.
"We urge the government to publish its overarching plan for how waste reforms will work together for the sector as a whole."
