There must be millions of car seats being dumped in the landfill.

• In the UK it is a legal requirement for all children to travel in  a car seat.
• Parents are discouraged from buying second hand for safety reasons - a new car seat is the safest. This is not disputed.
• However, this produces a lot of unusable, expired seats which largely have one destination - the landfill. The only option is to salvage some parts of the seat which maybe resellable, or recyclable e.g. the fabric.
• All baby and child car seats have an expiration dates (6-10years potentially)
• All baby and child car seats are not useable after a car accident. 
• Currently there is no closed loop system, the manufacturers do not offer a clear and accessible recycling program to the customer.
• There are recycling programmes in other countries.
• This petition asks for a clear and accessible recycling programme for all parents in the UK, so that their unusable car seats are not dumped in the landfill.
• There seems to a "Deadlock" if the retailer doesn't save some money, they won't change their system, and if the recycling firm doesn't make some money, they won't go and collect it, we need the government to help bring in regulations to make recycling mandatory.
