answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>The answer to Question 135379 referred to the fact that there is no commercially available equipment for the continuous monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5. The Environment Agency is aware that there have been a limited number of research projects undertaken by academic or research institutes around the world which have attempted to adapt ambient monitoring techniques for PM10 and PM2.5 to stack (chimney) emissions monitoring, but these would have been installed for short periods of time and so do not provide continuous monitoring results. The Environment Agency is not aware of any other examples of non-commercially available equipment for measuring emissions of PM10 and PM2.5.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/05/2018 16:26:48 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

tabling member constituency	Stroud
tabling member printed	Dr David Drew
uin	142753
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities are best placed to determine local waste collection and recycling services in line with legislation and taking into account the services local residents demand. Separate collection of compostable waste is the best way to ensure this material is sent to the most appropriate treatment option and for diverting this waste from landfill, reducing the potential for greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p> </p><p>97% of local authorities in England offer a garden waste collection service, and 50% of local authorities in England offer a dedicated food waste collection service either separately or mixed with garden waste. This waste is typically composted or, in the case of separately collected food waste, sent to anaerobic digestion.</p><p> </p><p>We want to encourage local authorities to follow best practice in the provision of waste collection and recycling services, and have worked with the Waste and Resources Action Programme to provide guidance on separate collection of food waste and on garden waste collection and have committed to working towards no foodwaste entering landfill by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/05/2018 16:22:57 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
