Davies also published his Plastics Bill in 2017 that calls for the government to set and enforce ambitious targets that would reduce the amount of plastic produced and also ensure that the producer pays for the recycling of plastic products through an Extended Producer Responsibility Plan. The Bill gives an external agency the powers to set and enforce those targets and calls the government to adopt a fiscal strategy (including a plastic bottle levy alongside a refill scheme) to reduce plastic production and consumption, encourage more easily recycled plastics and require universal re-cyclability and the development of sustainable materials.
