Liberal Democrat — Wells and Mendip Hills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 April 2025

Debate

Recycling of Tyres

Contribution

I beg to move, That this House has considered the matter of recycling end-of-life tyres. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. The Government have placed the circular economy at the heart of their agenda. The circular economy taskforce has been established and is expected to report back later this year. Adopting a focus on the circular economy means changing the way we think about so-called waste. We need to see things currently perceived as waste as a resource—a resource with an economic value that can be recovered and contribute to the economic growth that this Government so seriously seek. We also need to implement policies designed to maximise the economic value from these resources.
