We are the second largest producers of plastic waste after the USA (BBC 15/05/21). The waste is being exported to countries who unscrupulously and illegally dispose of the UK's plastic waste by dumping it in the countryside or burning it in the open causing pollution, beyond the controls of the UK once it has left our shores.
