Closed Create mandatory recycling waste legislation in England

Closed on

In Scotland - the regulations brought in, in January 2014, require all businesses and organisations to separate key materials – plastic, glass, metals, paper and card – for recycling, while most food businesses are also required to separate food waste for collection.

The government needs to catch up with other, more forward thinking and environmentally aware countries to legislate on waste recycling as a matter or extreme urgency, to prevent the needless, toxic pollution of our earth, on which, all humans depend for their existence!
