Alupro, the aluminium-packaging industry body, has issued a rallying call to Members of Parliament, urging them to throw their weight behind a deposit return scheme and bolster investment in recycling infrastructure. The organisation recently hosted an event at the House of Commons, sponsored by UK’s Labour MP Rupa Huq and featuring a keynote speech by Conservative MP Bob Blackman.

During the event, the enterprise encouraged policymakers to sign a three-point pledge outlining a roadmap for achieving a circular economy.

The pledge centres on three key objectives: implementing a world-class Deposit Return Scheme by 2027, promoting sustainable packaging through an extended producer responsibility system that incentivises the use of recyclable materials, and boosting domestic recycling facilities through targeted investment.
