answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In 2018/19 167 local authorities out of 327 (51%) offered food waste collection services for residents.</p><p>One of the commitments in the Resource and Waste Strategy was to work towards zero food waste to landfill by 2030. Our ‘consultation on consistency in household and business recycling collections England’ sought views on food waste being collected separately from dry recycling materials and other types of waste from households and businesses. Given the support for this proposal, the Government will legislate to ensure that every local authority in England provides a separate food waste collections from 2023.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 08/10/2019 15:24:39 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans she has to bring forward legislative proposals to make all plastic bags sold compostable.
tabling member constituency	Dunfermline and West Fife
tabling member printed	Douglas Chapman
uin	294181
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>The introduction of the 5p Carrier Bag Charge has been highly effective at reducing consumption of single-use carrier bags. Composting standard EN 13432 defines the requirements for biodegradability of products required to meet the standard. This requires the use of an industrial composter. Compostable bags can be disposed of in foodwaste collections but only if the householder’s local authority uses an industrial composting process to treat the waste (some use anaerobic digestion). The Government would need to ensure that there was the right infrastructure in place and that the environmental benefits outweighed using conventional plastics before legislating to mandate that all plastic bags were compostable. That evidence is not yet available.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 08/10/2019 15:16:18 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
