South West on track to have zero available #Landfill capacity by 2030 - letsrecycle www.letsrecycle.com/news/south-w...

Complex terminology alienating consumers from circular economy transition resource.co/article/comp...
#BigBadger1 said "The industry should start with some sort of terminology uniformity. People use far too many words & accronyms for the same thing. A Roro is not a Bulker 😉👍 "
Free #FoodWaste caddy liners available at libraries across this area uk.news.yahoo.com/free-food-wa...
#BigBadger1 was very pleased with this. He reckons its one of the biggest reasons why people don't segregate their food waste. Its the expense of the legit bags to be used.
" 'Disgraceful decision' from Scottish Government as another incinerator allowed to start burning waste " foe.scot/press-releas...
#BigBadger1 got on his high horse "Do they want it to go to #Landfill? At least it's generating energy! Go reduce your waste first."

That was just at the headline.
Scottish #LandfillBan exemption to apply to 2028 - letsrecycle.com share.google/A5CsE9RPSI00...
#BigBadger1 wondered where the surge of building new #EFW plants went? We were meant to be import residual waste by now, or have they all been delayed, hence the 2028 date 🤔😲😉👍
#Recycling rates rise but half of waste could still be recycled, #Sepa says news.stv.tv/scotland/rec...
#BigBadger1 simply said: "And the rest". To be fair, technically they're is very little in municipal waste that's not recyclable. Not having economical ability is the issue.

UK #PlasticWaste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows www.theguardian.com/environment/...
#BigBadger1 wonders what businesses are meant to do. There isn't the capacity here, and virgin is often cheaper. It's got to be sent elsewhere. 🤷🤦
Retailers say £1.5bn of packaging EPR costs will be passed on to shoppers - edie www.edie.net/retailers-sa...
#BigBadger1 wonders why were seeing these articles. They're businesses, mostly with shareholders. Why would they absorb the costs when they can increase prices? 🤷

#BigBadger1 said it just goes to show. Reduce the volume available and they'll fill it less. Public will always want more if you offer it. Bet they had room in other containers 🤔😉
