Mr. Bill O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many tonnes of material have been
recycled as a direct result of the Waste and Resources Action Programme's activity; what the average cost to public funds was per
tonne of such recycled material; and if she will make a statement. [146540]
Mr. Morley: WRAP'S market development programmes are delivering an extra 1,000,000 tonnes/ year of additional recycling capacity in
the UK, through projects that have been delivered or are close to completion.
It is estimated that all of the capital grant and R&D projects initiated by WRAP, once fully realised, will generate at least four
million extra tonnes of recycling per year in the UK. If the reasonable assumption is made that this recycling will continue to be
delivered for at least 10 years, the cost to the public purse is estimated to be approximately £1/tonne.
These estimates relate solely to WRAP'S R&D and capital interventions and not to WRAP'S advocacy and procurement work, which make
essential contributions to the programme as a whole, but are not so easily related to tonnage figures.
