Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted that the
environmental impacts of artificial grass are greatly concerning and thanked
the petitioners for highlighting the problem. The Cabinet Secretary for Climate
Change’s response highlights that the issue is on the Welsh Government’s agenda
and that a microplastics event will be held in March 2025.
The Committee agreed to keep the petition open and to write back to the Cabinet Secretary to seek an update on the outcome of the microplastics event. It was also agreed that the Chair would write to the petitioner to inform them of the ‘It’s For Them’ project.
