Plastic waste

Requested Mon 16 January 2023
Responded Tue 24 January 2023

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request information from your organisation about any plastic waste that has been shipped to Asia.

Specifically, I am requesting the following information:

1. The total amount of plastic waste shipped to Asia from your organisation over the past five years, organised by year (for example, 10 tonnes in 2019, 20 tonnes in 2020).

2. The countries that the plastic waste was shipped to.

Response

No amount of plastic has been sent to Asia in the last 5 years.

All plastic remains in the UK.
