Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) report: "A Zero Waste UK"
A Zero Waste UK offers an alternative vision of a shared responsibility between government, product manufacturers, retailers and consumers to increase recycling and waste prevention.
Nick Pearce, the IPPR director, said: "Business needs to take greater responsibility for the whole life of products by paying a product tax that goes towards payment for disposal."
"Taxing disposable products to encourage consumers to switch to more durable alternatives, or taxing products to pay for their recycling, will give manufacturers no choice but to ultimately design out waste," said Julie Hill of the Green Alliance.
