Current situation?

The Government has announced (18 October 2010) that they will not be proceeding with new Regulations for Non-Packaging Agricultural Plastics - 'Ministers have decided that no Government intervention is needed, a view supported by the majority of responses to the consultation as the scheme would cover only a small waste stream and the costs and administrative burden on businesses of any scheme could be disproportionate to the environmental benefits that would be achieved.'
