Ms Bernie Kiely:

Apologies, I had an IT durability issue and I had to step in next door into Mr. McLoughlin's room. There are a number of extended producer responsibility schemes, as the Deputy will be aware. The EPA publishes data every year in terms of the official figures reported to Eurostat on the recycling and recovery rates. It is around this time of year. It is 18 months after the expiry of the calendar year involved. We will have 2022 statistics coming on line around this time. The deadlines are mid-year for schemes such as WEEE, packaging, etc. Some schemes are national schemes, for example, tyres and firm plastics, and they do not have a European reporting rate. We can collate the latest position for the Deputy and share it with the committee.
