Default Malaysia returns 42 containers of 'illegal' plastic waste to UK

Of course they should send it back.


They need to sort out
their Illegal Waste firms.




[Malaysia is returning 42 shipping
containers of illegally imported
plastic waste to the UK,
its environment minister has announced.
Yeo Bee Yin said Malaysia would take
"steps to ensure" the country
"does not become the garbage
dump of the world".
She added Malaysia had sent
back 150 containers to their country of origin.
The UK government said it received
a request from Malaysian authorities
last year to repatriate the waste
and some containers had already arrived back.
An Environment Agency spokesman
said: "We continue to work with
the shipping lines and Malaysian
authorities to ensure all waste
is brought back as soon as possible."]
