Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government what engagement they have had with the organic recycling industry, including members of Compostable Coalition UK and the Association For Renewable Energy and Clean Technology, to inform the development of their waste management strategy for England.
In 2019, we ran a call for evidence on the need for standards for bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable plastics, to which stakeholders were invited to contribute.
Special Advisers also recently met with members of the Compostable Coalition on 1 March 2023.
