The Department could have a target to reduce material use or it could have a reuse or recycling target. It could also have one of the broader indicators of impact that are being developed. The French have brought in a repairability rating that has to be produced on labelling. It would be interesting to see the flavour of things like that. I know the Government cannot impose those targets unilaterally and require that they be achieved in six months but it would be helpful to set the expectation that if, in two years' time, a product does not have a repairability rating, something will happen to the company's capacity to present to the market. That sort of thing would be a useful nudge.
