Mr. Hancock: To ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission what quantity of (a) glass, (b) paper, (c) cardboard, (d) plastic, (e) metal and (f) other materials have been (i) recovered and (ii) recycled from the waste stream of the parliamentary estate in each of the last three years; what percentage this represents of total waste in each case; what plans there are to increase the amount recycled; and if he will make a statement. [189755] Sir Archy Kirkwood: In the last three financial years the quantities of waste recycled were as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 (4 months) Glass (tonnes) 256 173 61 Paper and cardboard (tonnes) 263 379 121 Metal (tonnes) 46 50 1-- Oil (tonnes) 7 4 3 In addition, fluorescent tubes and toner cartridges were recycled. Percentage of total waste 25 26 28 recycled Percentage of waste recovered 100 100 100 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Extracted at incinerator. Not separately weighed. Recycling means that an item is reused. Recovery means that the waste is utilised in some way, for example incineration to generate electricity. Percentages of waste recycled and recovered exceed government targets, which are to recycle 25 per cent. and recover 40 per cent. The Waste Recycling Steering Group meets regularly and works closely with its contractors to maximise the amount of waste which is recycled from the parliamentary estate.

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the latest available 12 month figures are for the proportion of the Department's redundant documentation, waste paper and card that is recycled; and if he will make a statement on the Department's recycling policy. [188695] Mr. Pond: The latest figures for waste are for 2003-04. The following figures show the total amount of waste generated from DWP offices (where data is available) and the amount of that waste that is recycled. All our recycled waste shown in this table is paper or cardboard, although other currently unmeasured recycling takes place on furniture and fluorescent tubes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Tonnes Total Waste Arisings 25,834 Total Paper/Card Recycled 13,015 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The Department is working to reduce the total amount of waste that it produces, by developing Waste Minimisation plans within each area of the business. At the same time, In accordance with its Sustainable Development Policy Statement, the Department is working with our Estates Partner (Land Securities Trillium) to extend existing recycling facilities for paper products, increase recycling of estate based waste, and consider the potential for recycling other waste streams such as plastics and aluminium cans.

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the latest available 12-month figures are for the proportion of the Department's redundant documentation, waste paper and card that is recycled; and if he will make a statement on the Department's recycling policy. [188690] Charlotte Atkins: The waste handling contract for the Department's London headquarters building enables us to recycle all documentation, paper and card. Our policy aim is to recycle 100 per cent. of paper and card and we provide separate bins for such material and encourage staff to use them. In 2003-04, this resulted in the Department recycling 53 tonnes of paper, which represented 44 per cent. of total waste recycled. As we only record figures for the amount of documentation, waste paper and card that is actually recycled, we are unable to say what proportion this represents of total disposal of all such materials. To further encourage paper recycling the Department: (a) only uses uncoated paper containing 100 per cent. post- consumer waste, and coated paper containing a minimum of 75 per cent. post-consumer waste; (b) undertakes an annual review of its stocks of printed materials and organised the pulping of any deemed to be redundant, for recycling; and (c) instituted a `print-on-demand' facility, so that no more copies of printed materials need be produced than are forecast to be used. The Department also manages an award-winning framework contract to procure recycled printing papers for all its printing needs. The contract let in partnership with Defra and DTI is currently used in total by 18 Departments, agencies and NDPBs, and the number is growing. The management and use of this contract by public bodies has so far: (a) diverted over 22,000 tonnes of potential landfill back into use;(b) led paper mills to develop new recycled products; and (c) contributed to improving the quality of those already on the market. The Department in consultation with its agencies is considering how it will develop a corporate departmental sustainable waste management strategy as required under the Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government Estate. However, our already existing policy remains that as many waste streams as possible should be recycled where appropriate and possible.
