Mr. Liam Moloney:

The classification of the waste we export is under the authority of the National TFS Office; it is the body that interprets the legislation. Some seven or eight years ago, it decided unprocessed farm plastic waste was amber-listed, not because it is hazardous but because of the high contamination level. That contamination is largely rainwater and small particles of silage, clay, etc. We have no issue or problem with that. Having said that, if the office were to revert to classifying it as green-listed we would of course work with that new arrangement and it would be an easier one to work with.
