Calls for government to ‘take control’ of waste problem as Britain continues to dump refuse elsewhere
ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners are calling on the government to “take control” of its waste problem after it was revealed Britain is continuing to dump its refuse on other countries.
Greenpeace’s Trashed report says that British plastic has been found dumped and burned across southern Turkey.
The organisation said that investigators documented piles of plastic waste dumped illegally by the roadside, in fields or spilling into waterways and floating downstream in 10 sites dotted around the Adana province.
