RECOUP Response To DEFRA’s Survey On Modulated Fees

RECOUP have submitted a response to the Modulated Fees survey.

In overview, whilst we couldn’t objectively challenge DEFRA’s calculations without objective data, we feel that the system needs regular assessment from Autumn 2025 to ensure that the uplift in base fees remains adequate and fair to cover the waste management costs.

The importance of incentivising industry to move towards designing for recyclability was also emphasized.
