Minerals: Recycling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish a list of companies that have a licence to export critical mineral waste and scrap for recycling abroad.
Answered by Mary Creagh
Defra does not maintain a list of businesses that export waste from the UK. Any exporter that is not the original waste producer must be registered as a waste broker or dealer. Details of registered brokers and dealers in England can be found on the public register, available at: https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-brokers
Information on the destination of waste exported from the UK is publicly available here: https://www.uktradeinfo.com/
