Biffa reports thousands of disposable vapes arriving at its facilities daily despite a national ban, with volumes rising since the ban took effect. The devices contain built-in lithium-ion batteries and e-liquid that can ignite during collection or compaction, causing fires in bins, trucks and waste sites. Experts urge households to avoid binning vapes and to dispose of them at dedicated e‑waste facilities to protect sanitation workers and prevent fires. » Más en yahoo.com

Biffa says a government loophole that makes exporting plastic waste cheaper is driving 600,000 tonnes abroad each year, contributing to the closure of 21 UK recycling factories in two years. Industry figures warn exports and cheap virgin plastic have hollowed out domestic processing capacity, risking environmental harm and costing a potential £2bn industry and around 5,000 jobs. The company calls for tighter policy, higher recycled-content rules and investment in UK sorting and processing infrastructure to reverse the trend. » Más en theguardian.com
