Gregory Barker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment she has made of the
development of recycled wood products by the Waste and Resources Action Programme. [221509]
Mr. Morley: [holding answer 15 March 2005]: The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has a target to deliver an
additional 150,000 tonnes recycling capacity for waste wood into added-value end markets by March 2006. WRAP will do this through:
supporting further diversification of waste wood recycling, focusing on higher-value applications; increasing the consumption of
waste wood by the panel board manufacturing industry; incentivising demand for recycled wood products by raising awareness and
encouraging action among potential buyers in targeted sectors; exploiting the commercial opportunities identified by research on
treated timber recycling; and, promoting the increased segregation of wood waste for recycling at household waste recycling centres,
in the furniture recycling industry and during construction and demolition activities.
Defra is monitoring WRAP's progress towards achievement of this target and will assess whether it has been met in the course of
2006.
