Big carbon budgets, the new PRO waste squad PLUS the DRS glass ceilings that won't shatter

Eco Chamber

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

This week, ENDS journalists look at:

• The new waste group 'PRO' in charge of the government’s forthcoming extended producer responsibility roll-out.
• The big emission cuts that the government is toying as part of its next carbon budget.
• And the news-in-brief: the sand-eel fishing ban that’s irked the EU, Natural Resources Wales’ tax liabilities and the Somerset farmer blaming slurry pollution on the weather report.

For this week’s fact check, we look into the truth behind the claim by government and industry that glass will be an expensive and complex addition to the forthcoming roll out of a UK-wide deposit return scheme.
