Agree

No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

Volt UK is likely to support measures that encourage the production of biodegradable products, including tax incentives. However, their preference for more direct regulatory measures to combat environmental issues suggests that they might view tax incentives as a complementary rather than a primary strategy. This approach aligns with their progressive, pro-environmental policies but does not fully capture their likely emphasis on stronger regulatory actions.

Slightly agree

No, increase consumer incentives to recycle these products instead

While Volt UK supports environmental sustainability, their approach is more likely to favor direct action and regulation over consumer incentives. They might view recycling incentives as insufficiently robust to address the scale of environmental challenges. However, they might not entirely disagree with this approach, recognizing the value of encouraging recycling as part of a broader environmental strategy.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance on environmental issues and sustainability, it is unlikely that they would oppose measures aimed at reducing waste and promoting biodegradable alternatives.
