Credit: Environment Agency One of the biggest waste companies in the UK has been found guilty of exporting household waste for the second time in two years. A jury decided Biffa Waste Services Ltd broke the law sending more than 1,000 tonnes of waste collected from private homes, labelled as paper, to Asia. An investigation by the Environment Agency prevented 16 25 tonne containers travelling from Southampton to Asia in 2018 and 2019. Biffa was also convicted of exporting a further 26 containers that sailed before they could be stopped. Wood Green Crown Court heard Biffa logged various items as paper at its depot in Edmonton.
