REUSABLE NAPPY SCHEMES

Early day motion 1786, tabled 27 June 2007 by David Taylor (Labour). Signed by 45 members.

That this House welcomes the Government's Waste Strategy for England; observes that one of the most effective means of reducing the amount of waste going to landfill is to encourage the use of reusable nappies instead of the three billion disposable nappies sent to landfill each year; and invites the Government to consider how best it might achieve this objective both by actively promoting local reusable nappy schemes and by introducing measures to limit the current freedom enjoyed by the manufacturers of disposable nappies to externalise the enormous costs of the disposal of their product.
