A panel used for use by Environment in the UK. In the panel where the use of plastic wastes in Turkey was heard, we could not pass without mentioning the ban to bring waste from England one by one.
“Last year, the picture of a fish that lived was officially registered by The Guardian newspaper for how long those with a historical background lived.”
This is to Jacob Hayler, Chief Executive of the Environmental Services Association, in the transmission. Hayler explains how easy it is to cook from plastic.
Turkey had the UK’s top plastic waste in 2020. The resounding BBC and Green Peace studies revealed the grim dimensions of this book. A country with 540,000 tons of plastic waste will be designed in 2020, and England sent 40 percent of this waste to Turkey.
Turkey, the old May factories produced approximately 70 percent of the plastic waste food, for example, the materials of the polyethylene factory waste. However, in a short time, this regulation was abolished with a communiqué published in the Official Gazette on 10 July. The new regulation came to life with the thesis that plastic waste loading can be solved with strict controls.
Turkey’s plastic waste import?
According to the Environmental Impact Assessment, Permit and Inspection General Directorate’s review, Turkey’s plastic waste import decreased by 90 thousand tons to 685 thousand 443 tons.
According to the Plastic Waste Management report published by the Court of Accounts in January 2022, the trend in the import of plastic waste, which may consist of the final material, can be derived from “the future in the number of licensed waste generation facilities and obtaining the cheap source”.
In 2021, Turkey’s imports came from about 18 percent of the UK. The UK Trade Information System sent 23 percent of usable weather-friendly plastic waste to Turkey in 2021. In other words, Turkey produced 123 thousand 39 tons of plastic waste from England in 2021.
bbc turkishNihan Temiz, the biodiversity project manager of Nihan Temiz, the biodiversity project manager of Greenpeace Greenpeace Akdeniz, said, “Waste import is a day that cannot be understood in any way whatsoever. The more strictly it is controlled and followed, the more systematically it is learned before it is taken from school.” .
Greenpeace Turkey, 15-16 2021 in Adana province, Turkey, examined 5 samples of different mass formation from the soil surface, water and river bottom mud, and found “various metals and metalloids at high elevations”, “most of which is the combustion of plastics” in all of them. .
This is Nihan Temiz, who was heard to prepare EFRA. report “How long do we have to wait until England can manage within itself in a plastic self-planning while we see so many people, animals and countries in appearance?” she asked.
Does the UK immediately ban the export of waste work?
‘Peace in England’ Meghan Randles in England says illegal crossing of those likely to be needed inside the unfinished house is comparable to human trafficking in green. They are made of these materials, in a commercial-grade shape, and because they are shaped, they are used literally and simply.
Together, prohibitions have been known to be breached. The UK government plans to ban the export of useless plastic waste for the “correct use” of used waste. Randles notes that the waste is sent to the Belgian port of Antwerp, where “too much waste crime is committed” and is another help.
The UK are those using a system similar to “traffic lights” to sell plastic waste. Accordingly, while the trade is made for the use of the unused ones, they will be dressed by the competent authorities in the countries.
He says that this audit team is at most one hundred percent, EFRA Committee Member and from the Circle of the ruling Party, from Rob’s side, that he will not come without somehow coming, and he will not give information about the suitability of the candidates.
Those who do illegal training together pay “6-digit profits” and “4-digit fines” at most. “Enough to record a goldfish live” at the entrance to the industry entrance.
‘Recycling facility in the UK is not a distributed investment’
Consuming all the waste to be sent is a needed material. For this, it needs to get more about plastic waste for the future.
For Greenpeace, the plastic control system and the system are designed in a model way, instead of solving the take-out-dispose order.
Adequate preparation for their prospects.
However, transitioning to such a system can be together for at least five years. Today, England’s recycling facility, which is suitable for recycling 2 million tons of plastic waste playground, is sufficient to meet this facility.
Robbie Moore says that the investment needed to build recycling facilities in the UK is to build the way in which it may be possible to deliver profitably. The strategy requires an investment of around half a billion pounds to be able to process its own plastic waste.
plastic tax can be applied to systems whose packaging can be applied digitally, facilitating systems that will separate non-corrosive plastics in households after production, plastic tax, packaging will be applied digitally.
The EFRA committee will submit the report to the product and product by the Ministry of Environment.
