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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department took to mark International E-Waste Day.

International E-Waste day was supported in the United Kingdom by Material Focus and WEEE compliance Scheme, Repic Ltd, with a message encouraging consumers to keep their unwanted and working small electrical devices in use for longer. HM Government is currently reviewing the United Kingdom’s regulations on managing e-waste to explore policy options aimed at driving up levels of collections for re-use and recycling.
