Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the amount of plastic waste from Coventry that is sent abroad for recycling in each year for which information is available.

Data on exports of waste materials generally is published by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and is available at:https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Pages/Home.aspx.

This data is collected at a UK level and data relating specifically to Coventry is not available.

Data on the collection and disposal and recycling of waste for Coventry will be held by Coventry City Council, and is reported separately through the WasteDataFlow system (http://www.wastedataflow.org/home.aspx).
