What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

Plastic isn’t just a problem for wildlife and our oceans, it’s a problem for people too. Local communities near where UK plastic is dumped and burned are developing serious health issues. This isn’t building back better, this is more rich countries exploiting poorer ones. 2/5
According to the UN, plastic waste kills up to 1 million seabirds, 100,000 sea mammals, marine turtles and countless fish each year. As the 2nd biggest producer of plastic per person in the world, the UK must take real steps to cut plastic production. 3/5
