Defra is seeking to clarify the application of the definition of waste to re-use and repair activities, by calling on stakeholder opinions in order to "fully examine the issue". The Waste Prevention Programme for England published last December committed Government to providing clarification on the application of the definition of waste to reuse and repair activities. In order to fully examine the issue it is asking for general feedback from stakeholders on specific examples on experiences where the definition of waste has acted as a barrier to re-use and repair activities. Defra is also asking for suggestions for changes that might support growth in the reuse and repair sector.
