answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>We do not receive a comprehensive breakdown of the totals of these wastes within either our mixed recycling or general waste streams.</p><p>Plastic cups can be collected as part of the dry mixed recycling scheme, enabling them to be recycled.</p><p>Food containers and cutlery are at present collected as part of our general waste stream due to potential contamination from food and liquids. Instructions for our general waste bins in Parliament are that the only items deposited in this waste steam are non-recyclables and contaminated waste.</p><p>Within the single-use avoidable plastics strategy announced on 15 May 2018, the House Authorities committed to replacing the existing catering disposables range, which is predominantly non-recyclable, for a compostable alternative. This will enable the entire range of disposable items provided by the House to be recycled.</p> answering member constituency Carshalton and Wallington answering member printed Tom Brake question first answered 21/05/2018 12:41:00 answering member 151 label Biography information for Tom Brake
