Podcast: Beyond Waste - building a circular economy in food and drink
With Extended Producer Responsibility coming into force this October, the UK’s Deposit Return Scheme moving forward, and new food waste legislation introduced from 31 March, sustainability is shaping every packaging decision in 2025.
In this future-focused discussion, Jim Bligh, Director of Corporate Affairs and Packaging at the Food and Drink Federation, and Emma Bourne OBE, Director for Circular Economy at Defra, explore how government and industry are aligning on priorities for the year ahead.
