The Greenpeace report published on Tuesday highlighted how the UK exported 537,000 tonnes of plastic waste in 2020, roughly the same amount (539,000 tonnes) in 2019. The volume of waste exported to Malaysia rose from 40,007 tonnes to 65,316 tonnes. “Malaysia and other countries should not be used as dumping ground,” said Greenpeace Malaysia campaigner Heng Kiah Chun in a statement to FMT.
