Recycling Revolution

Labour’s shadow Defra secretary Rachael Maskell has announced her party’s “recycling revolution” at its annual conference.

Maskell said Labour would “embrace the circular economy” by reducing waste and not sending it to landfill.

She also mentioned food waste, pledging a new policy framework to reduce the amount thrown away by consumers.

“Unlike the Government, Labour will embrace the circular economy – reducing our consumption, recycling and generating energy from our waste, not turning it over to landfill.

“We all have our part to play in Labour’s recycling revolution.
