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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to establish the lifetime safety of graphene products, including what precautions might need to be taken for the disposal of products at the end of their life.

Every business that produces or deals with waste has a legal duty of care to make sure that their waste is classified correctly so it can be dealt with responsibly and safely.

They must take all reasonable steps to ensure it is managed appropriately by an authorised person, whether being recovered or disposed of. If the waste is hazardous, then additional controls will apply.

Those who fail in this duty may be subject to prosecution or a fixed penalty notice.
