Mr. Mullin: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what progress she has made in creating a market
for recycled plastic; and if she will make a statement. [23879]
Mr. Meacher: The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) was created in January 2001 to create stable and efficient markets for
recycled materials and products, and to help remove barriers to waste minimisation, re-use and recycling.
Plastics are one of WRAP's seven set targets to increase mixed plastics recycling by 20,000 tonnes for industrial products and raise
awareness of the range and quality of recycled products available.
On 5 December WRAP announced that they are funding a series of six regional workshops on plastics recycling to be delivered by the
plastics recycling body, RECOUP. These seminars will focus on plastics collection and procurement, as well as providing a showcase
for products.
