All-Party Parliamentary Sustainable Resource Group

Employing more than three million people and contributing over £110 billion to the economy, Britain’s food and farming industry is crucial for national prosperity. The industry faces enormous challenges however, including intensive use of water, energy and raw materials, degradation of ecosystem services, and substantial waste at every stage of the supply chain. Uncertainty over post-Brexit policy and future economic landscape, along with the impact of climate change, only adds to the difficulties.

A joint event by UK Research and Innovation and Policy Connect to launch the project ‘A vision for Zero Plastic Waste’.

This drinks reception will kick off a series of parliamentary events organised to examine how to achieve the vision of Zero Plastic Waste and how the UK can become the global leader on this issue.

With a range of expert speakers and attendees, these parliamentary events will inform a final publication that aims to disseminate the evidence collected and provide a framework and recommendations for policy-makers and industry.
