Question
To what extent is rubbish collected on Transport for Wales rail services recycled or sent to landfill?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Transport for Wales do not currently send waste to landfill. In 2021/22 approximately 10% of Transport for Wales waste was processed through closed loop recycling (96.2 tonnes) and 90% (825.1 tonnes) of waste was processed via waste to energy solutions. Transport for Wales are seeking to increase the amount of waste that is recycled and are undertaking waste audits and developing a Waste Action Plan to increase their recycling rates.
