§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what encouragement is being provided for the recycling of aluminium from cans.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI fully support the efforts of the Can Makers Organisation, representing the major metal packaging manufacturers, which launched a major expansion of their can recovery activities in 1982. Its save-a-can scheme seeks to recover both tin-plate and aluminium cans, and their cash-a-can scheme is for aluminium cans. Through the expansion of other schemes the can makers estimate a recovery of 2,600 million cans by 1985.
