Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make it his policy to support the use of reusable nappies and their effect on removing plastics from the residual waste stream.

The Government is determined to achieve zero avoidable plastic waste and will set out our policies and proposed actions in our Resources and Waste Strategy published later this year. To inform this, Defra officials have recently met the Nappy Alliance which supports the use of reusable nappies, and I have met with Proctor & Gamble to learn about their disposable nappy recycling technology.
