Greenpeace Unearthed | British recycling found dumped in Malaysia @GreenpeaceUnearthed | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Not all your recycling is getting recycled, and we found proof - in a handful of illegal dumps in Malaysia. Investigators picked through mountains of trash up to twenty feet high, photographing plastic packaging familiar to the average UK household, confirming fears that the system isn't doing what it should.
We just handed over our evidence to the UK's Environment Agency, who have launch a major investigation into claims of fraud in the UK’s recycling exports system. Currently the UK exports more than twice the amount of the plastic than is recycled here.
