Consumers will have to pay a returnable deposit on bottles, cans and disposable cups under a new government strategy. Homes in England will be provided by councils with separate collections for food waste. Recycling will be made less confusing for households, and manufacturers will need to foot the cost of disposing of the goods they produce. The plan has been cautiously welcomed by green groups, but some business groups are wary. The strategy is designed to help combat climate change, safeguard resources and reduce the flow of plastic to the ocean.

In other news,

A food delivery robot was destroyed after it caught fire because of "human error", its creator has confirmed. Kiwibot autonomous delivery robots have been rolling around the University of California, Berkeley campus for two years. On Friday, students found one of the robots in flames and shared photos on social media. Kiwi said the cause was a "defective battery" that had been accidentally installed in the robot. "One of the batteries for our robot that was idling started smouldering, eventually leading to some smoke and minor flames," the company said in a statement.
