Because we put out our little blue bins and they take it away and we pretend it's been recycled and that's what the official stats show. It's not OUR fault if it doesn't actually get recycled once it's left Britain . Not our responsibility any more . It's THEIR waste now, not ours.

poor Turkey, one of the countries that receives the most dumped plastic …
Usually when plastic ends up somewhere like this it's because the country it comes for is paying them to "process" it so they are selling a service. Still, poor Turkish people as they don't really get a say... but the government/some big businesses/both will be getting £££ to take the plastic.
