Weekly food waste collections for all households in England
Mandatory waste separation for over 2.2 million businesses
Increased background checks for waste operators to combat waste crime
Digital waste tracking to improve regulation and detection of rogue operators
New restrictions on single-use plastic items, including plates, trays, bowls, cutlery, and food containers
