Additionally, there are no established definitions for waste that would be deemed to be “recyclable” based on the European Waste Catalogue waste code classifications that underpin waste reporting.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 30/11/2017 11:57:46 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
