The impact assessment accompanying our 2021 consultation estimated that over two metric tonnes of additional food waste per annum would be separately collected by 2030 under our central scenario for these reforms. These figures are being revised for our Final Impact Assessment on Simpler Recycling which will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 19/10/2023 11:58:13 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2021 answer text <p>Waste and recycling policy is a devolved matter. Following support in response to initial public consultation, the Environment Bill will require all local authorities in England to arrange for the separate collection of food waste from households, at least once a week, so that this material can be collected for recycling. Businesses and organisations in England will also be required to arrange for the separate collection of food waste for recycling. We will be launching a further consultation on recycling consistency this spring. In this consultation, we will be seeking further views on implementing separate food waste collections, including transition timelines for local authorities and businesses, and statutory guidance for waste collectors.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will ensure that local authorities are resourced to meet net costs arising from new statutory duties. This will include the additional costs associated with the requirement to separately collect food waste.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 16/03/2021 13:14:50 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
