Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make representations to Cornwall Council on increasing the quantity of beverage cartons it recycles.
The Government wants to maximise recycling and to promote comprehensive collections of materials. I would encourage Cornwall and all other local councils to take opportunities to recycle more materials where they can and to make it easier for householders to recycle.
This Government remains committed to increasing recycling rates and is developing a Resources and Waste Strategy.
