Overview
The industry uses plastics and other packaging materials primarily to protect products across the supply chain and ensure they reach the consumer in a safe and optimal condition; packaging therefore also plays an important role in preventing food waste and contributing to the sustainability of the whole supply chain.
Alongside our value chain partners FDF is committed to working with the UK and Devolved Nation Governments on the implementation of the packaging reforms - Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) and Collection Consistency- to ensure these deliver greater circularity for packaging, including through the creation of a world-class recycling system.
The FDF is a founding signatory of the UK Plastics Pact, bringing together the entire plastics value chain under one ambitious set of targets. We are working with WRAP on developing a successor agreement to the Pact beyond 2025.
