Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will take action to reduce the disparity
between the cost of exporting unsorted recyclables and the cost of sorting them in the UK. [114794]
Mr. Meacher: The Government's priority is to increase the amount of waste that is reused or recycled. It may be necessary to export
some recyclate for recovery in order to achieve these aims. The Government however, is acting to extend the market for recyclates in
the UK and has set up the Waste and Resources Action Programme to create stable and efficient markets for recycled materials and
products and to remove barriers to re-use and re-cycling in the UK.
