Agenda item

The Executive RESOLVED that the strategic objectives for tackling single use of plastics, as set out in Annex A of the agenda report, be endorsed.

The Executive was informed that plastic waste was one of the most significant environmental challenges being faced globally and the issue of single-use plastics (SUP) was the subject of increased public attention.

The Surrey Waste Partnership had established a multi authority task group to address this problem in Surrey. The task group had identified some shared strategic objectives for minimising and working towards zero avoidable SUP across all 12 partner authorities in line with the government’s ambition.

Members considered a document setting out these objectives, which would be supported by an action plan explaining how the objectives could be delivered.
