question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what proposals they have for the disposal of agricultural plastic waste, following restrictions on the import of plastic waste put in place by China.
tabling member printed	Lord Trefgarne
uin	HL12820
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government published an ambitious new Resources and Waste strategy in December last year, which sets out our plans to reduce plastic pollution and our commitment to eliminate avoidable plastic waste. This includes avoidable plastic waste from agriculture. While this material is recyclable, it can often be contaminated, making the recycling process uneconomic. Our proposals in the strategy will incentivise the production and use of plastic packaging which is readily recyclable, and we are providing funding for innovation in plastic waste treatment. We are also exploring how Government policy can further address this issue in partnership with the Waste and Resources Action Programme.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 22/01/2019 16:01:39 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
