A strong Extended Produced Responsibility could get companies to change their plastic packaging to make it more suitable to recycle.

@baroness_brown asks the Minister to review the definition of ‘natural polymer’ used in plastic food packaging.
The use of natural polymers beyond cellulose could make packaging fully recyclable. ♻️🗑️

Bottom trawling in our Marine Protected Areas threatens the sustainability and prosperity of our fisheries and coastal communities.
Yesterday in @UKHouseofLords I asked the Government when they would act 👇
@OceanaUK @WildlifeTrusts
Bottom trawling causes irreversible damage to our oceans 🌊
@liz_sugg highlights how heavy nets used by large fishing corporations devastate marine life and threaten coastal livelihoods 🐟
Banning this gear in 41 more MPAs would be a major step forward

Baroness Sheehan asked how progress on 30x30 nature recovery targets is measured 🌍
The Minister acknowledged the challenges of protecting our seas and noted that plans to extend the ban on bottom trawling gear to 41 MPAs would be a key step towards meeting 30x30 targets

As Baroness Grender notes, 90% of UK MPAs are still exposed to bottom trawling - amounting to 20,000 hours of trawling last year alone 🐠
