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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he the resources and waste strategy is planned to be published.

The Resources and Waste Strategy will be published shortly. In its 2017 Clean Growth Strategy the UK Government committed to work towards no food waste being sent to landfill by 2030, and in our 25 Year Environment Plan we stated that recycling food waste is a key priority. We have regular discussions with other departments about work to support an increase in food waste collections so that the amount of food waste sent to landfill continues to decline.
