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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what information his Department holds on incidences of companies sending unsold clothes to (a) landfill and (b) incineration.

The Department does not record the disposal of waste to this level of detail. The closest European Waste Code is ‘Textiles’, however this covers a wide range of wastes, not just unsold clothes.
