Electronic Equipment: Waste Disposal
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made about the potential impact of scale of electronic waste on the environment.
Answered by Mary Creagh
Defra has not conducted a formal assessment of the potential impact of scale of electronic waste on the environment.
We recognise that this is an important issue which is why electrical and electronic waste is being considered under the Circular Economy Growth Plan which we intend to publish soon.
