Conservative, Harborough
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many disposable nappies have been recycled in the UK in the last 12 months.
Therese Coffey
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Government does not have data on how many disposable nappies have been recycled in the last 12 months.
I met Procter & Gamble who have developed a technology to recycle nappies and I understand they are in discussions with several local authorities to establish a facility in the UK. The Government wants to encourage more recycling and to make it easier for households to recycle. In our Resources and Waste Strategy, which was published in December 2018, more is said on how we will encourage recycling and make it easier to understand.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
