§ Mr. TrippierThe White Paper on the environment, "This Common Inheritance", (Cm. 1200), sets out a number of measures that we will be pursuing to ensure successful recycling and minimise waste. We will be pressing industry to increase both the recycling of materials and the use of recycled material; encouraging retailers to provide collection facilities for recyclable material for their customers; and persuading industry to expand its capacity to process reclaimed material. We will also be encouraging industry to reduce unnecessary packaging of consumer goods.
