How local waste collection choices can influence recycling performance

• The UK's waste management landscape is undergoing significant changes. Choices made at waste collection can influence recycling performance for local authorities under local rules (those imposed by England and the devolved authorities). It is crucial that we understand how these choices and upcoming legislative changes, such as the pEPR (Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility and Emissions Trading System (ETS) impact each other.
