Members: Correspondence
Sir Gerald Kaufman:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when he plans to answer the letter dated 27 April from the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton on Ms Wendy Owen. [142347]
Mr. Bradshaw:
I apologise for the delay in replying to my right hon. Friend's letter. A response was issued on 8 June.
Packaging: Waste Disposal
Mrs. James:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what recent estimate he has made of the proportion of packaging used for fresh produce which is (a) recycled and (b) disposed of in landfill sites. [139254]
Mr. Bradshaw:
Food-related packaging makes up an estimated 18-20 per cent. of household waste and around 3.3 per cent. of the controlled waste which is sent to landfill(1). No estimate is currently available of the proportion of food packaging waste landfilled or recycled specifically relating to sales of fresh produce.
However, the Packaging Regulations, which place requirements on obligated businesses to recover and recycle a certain amount of the packaging waste they handle, have so far helped to raise the UK packaging recycling rate from around 27 per cent. in 1997 to around 56 per cent. in 2006. In real terms, the total amount of packaging waste recovered or recycled has increased from 3.3 million tonnes in 1998 to around 6.3 million tonnes in 2006.
The Waste and Resources Action Programme is currently working with all leading supermarkets through the Courtauld Commitment to achieve a standstill, and then a reduction, in the amount of packaging waste. A number of retailers are considering the role that the selling of loose fruit and vegetables could make to those objectives, without increasing the amount of damaged produce which is then discarded.
(1) Figures are based on estimates of waste composition contained in the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit 2002 report, “Waste Not Want Not”, and information from WasteDataFlow for 2005-06.
Recycling: Business
Mr. Jeremy Browne:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate he has made of the level of recycling by businesses in each region in England. [141224]
Mr. Bradshaw:
The most recent survey on industrial and commercial waste was carried out in 2002-03 by the Environment Agency. Information was collected from approximately 4,500 businesses and included the type, quantity and form of the waste, as well as the disposal or recovery method used. Data collection was limited to controlled waste and related to England only. The information is available, broken down by region, from the Environment Agency’s website and is shown in the following table.
