Single-Use Disposable Beverage Cups Charge: Island Communities Impact Assessment Report: Pre-Consultation Interim Report

4. Step three - Consultation

This interim Island Community Impact Assessment report has been produced to help inform the formal consultation for the proposed charge on single-use disposable beverage cups. It has explored several island-related topics in relation to the introduction of a charge for these items. However, it is recognised that engagement with island representatives is essential to fully understand the island context, and if any of the impacts identified above require further consideration within the design of the proposed policy. We are also aware that there may be other impacts, either positive or negative, which have not been identified. As such, we intend to engage with island community representatives during the consultation period.

Following feedback during consultation, this interim ICIA will be updated following the approach set out in the ICIA guidance.
