Guide to the new Simpler Recycling Policy Paper set out by the UK Government.
Simpler Recycling will help deliver improved recycling requirements in England. Aiming to end the confusion over what can and can’t be recycled, the legislation will support both households and businesses to recycle more and reach the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA) recycling target of 65%, as part of the Government’s wider Resources and Waste Strategy.
These regulations will begin in phases affecting everyone in time, starting 31 March 2025. This means you must start separating plastic, paper and card, glass, metals (cans, tins and foil) and food waste from general waste, if you are a business with 10+FTE (10 full-time equivalent employees).
