To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of composting facilities across England that treat compostable packaging.
Lord Benyon
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
There are 199 composting facilities in England. There are 143 anaerobic digestion facilities with a permit to treat organic waste in England. 142 of these anaerobic digestion sites are wet AD sites which generally do not accept materials that need to be composted in an industrial composting process and one of these sites is a dry AD plant that may be able to treat compostable materials.
