Multibank
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to support the further roll out of Multi Banks.
Answered by Mary Creagh
This Government is committed to transitioning to a circular economy – one that stimulates growth, reduces waste, and alleviates pressure on household bills. By keeping our materials in use for longer, we can strengthen supply chain resilience, attract investment in modern manufacturing and processing infrastructure, and create skilled jobs across the country. A circular economy also means less waste going to landfill or on our streets, and more value returned to businesses and consumers alike.
Defra recognises the opportunities and benefits Multi Banks could play in redistributing surplus goods to those that need them. As we develop our Circular Economy Strategy for England, we will consider the evidence from right across the economy and evaluate what interventions may be needed.
