"Libby Peake, head of resources at Green Alliance, said: “The government is making a political decision to push ahead with recycling reforms today, which go against global best practice. “They also contradict abundant evidence the government has collected on what a good recycling system would look like. “The changes would allow all dry recycling to be mixed together and for food and garden waste to be combined, and it would force councils to collect residual waste at least once a fortnight. This is bad news for the public, who want their efforts to recycle to count. “It’s bad news for British recycling businesses who need high-quality material to use – the paper recycling industry is warning that paper recycling rates could fall by nearly 20 percentage points by 2030 because of increasing contamination. “And, of course, it’s bad news for the environment, as it will result in wasted resources, which we can’t afford. It simply shouldn’t be this hard to get recycling right.”" https://lnkd.in/d4ibnmCr #Recycling #Collections
