[Continues.]—in order to achieve it. Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd.

If we’re going to meet the target to reach zero waste by 2050—coming onto Plaid Cymru’s amendment—we will need radical changes to our behaviour, to the goods we consume, and their packaging. And of the four taxes that the Welsh Government’s proposing to undertake further inspection into, it is the tax on disposable plastics that is Plaid Cymru policy and that featured in our manifesto for the 2016 elections. Wales was pioneering in introducing the plastic bag charge in 2011, and we saw a reduction in the use of plastic bags by 71 per cent as a result. A tax on disposable plastics is the next step forward to disincentivise the use of other non-recyclable plastics, like takeaway boxes and coffee cups, and to encourage businesses to find recyclable alternatives.

In conjunction and in conclusion—. In conjunction with other schemes like can and glass return-deposit schemes, Wales can continue to lead the world in meeting our recycling targets and reducing the waste that we send to landfill or incineration. We now have the powers to shape our own distinct tax system. As we do so, we have the opportunity to take a flexible, innovative approach to taxation that balances the need to raise funds for the public purse with an understanding of the power that taxes can have to change behaviour, and I look forward to all parties contributing to the historic opportunity the country has to shape its own fiscal policies in the years ahead.
