House of Commons division
draft Deposit Scheme for Drinks Containers (England and Northern Ireland) Regulations 2024
What the vote was about
The division was on a draft regulation to create a deposit return scheme for drinks containers in England and Northern Ireland. Such a scheme would add a small deposit to drinks containers like plastic bottles and cans, refundable when returned for recycling. For Cornwall, where tourism generates large amounts of single-use packaging and where beaches and countryside suffer from litter, a well-designed deposit scheme could reduce litter, boost recycling rates and keep popular visitor spots and marine environments cleaner. The regulations set out how the scheme would operate.
Why this division is tracked here
Deposit return schemes directly affect Cornwall's waste management, tourism and coastal litter reduction efforts.
