step up the UK’s environmental obligations and safeguard the vital scrap supplies needed

 

Uphold standards

By only allowing scrap exports to countries that can demonstrate their ability to treat waste sustainably

 

Incentivise retention of scrap to meet domestic demand

by reducing price support offered to scrap exports through the Packaging Recovery Note framework.

 

Incentivise and support greater processing of scrap to improve quality

such as through R&D funding, removal of VAT on high quality scrap, and inclusion of scrap and the minerals it contains in the Critical Minerals Strategy.
