Biffa Wants Plastics Export Ban Amid Push To Recycle All Plastic In UK
October 19, 2019Biffa PLC said Friday there should be a ban on the export of waste plastics.
The waste management company believes the ban should be part of a drive for all plastics to be recycled within the UK.
“The move would retain the material as a resource, generate UK investment and jobs and avoid unintended environmental problems in other countries,” Biffa added.
Biffa believes the “demonisation” of plastic is “resulting in unintended consequences for UK recycling, which could make UK’s plastic problem “worse”.
In a report published by Biffa, the waste management company said all plastic should be recycled in the UK.
