Diolch. The recycling of waste is a Welsh success story and one for which every citizen of Wales should feel a sense of pride. Since devolution a comprehensive package of Welsh Government policies, funding and partnership working has resulted in our municipal recycling rate increasing from 5 per cent to 64 per cent in 2016-17. Last Wednesday the recycling figures for 2017-18 were published and showed that Wales's municipal recycling rate is now 63 per cent. I want to explain the reasons for this small drop and the action we are taking to drive up recycling performance in the future.
