The UK is still dumping waste on other countries, according to environmental campaigners who are calling on the Government to “take control” of the problem.
Greenpeace’s Trashed report says UK plastic has been found dumped and burned across southern Turkey.
The organisation said investigators documented piles of plastic waste dumped illegally by the roadside, in fields or spilling into waterways and floating downstream in 10 sites dotted around the Adana province.
