[UK plastic waste is being exported to Turkey
and then illegally dumped and burned,
according to a report.
Greenpeace said about 40% - or 210,000 tonnes - of
the UK's plastic waste exports
were sent to Turkey last year.
But rather than being recycled,
investigators saw some of it dumped by roads,
in fields and in waterways.

The UK is a "global leader in tackling
plastic pollution", the government
said - after Greenpeace called for
it to "take control" of the problem.
Greenpeace's report warned Turkey was
becoming Europe's "largest plastic waste dump".
The charity said it had investigated 10 sites
across southern Turkey and found plastic bags
and packaging from UK supermarkets
and retailers at all of them.
Packaging for a coronavirus antigen test
was also found, indicating the waste
was less than a year old, the report said.


Nihan Temiz Atas, biodiversity projects lead
from Greenpeace Mediterranean, based in Turkey,
said: "Around 241 truckloads of plastic waste c
ome to Turkey every day from across Europe
and it overwhelms us.]
