@MrChrisMcDonald Huge safety and environmental risk to both. The most common reason for fires in the waste & recycling sector is lithium batteries. @markmiodownik's figure of 2 million units per week only increase's the risk and likelihood.
@MrChrisMcDonald Worse than that, its going in the household recycling or fly tipped on the road. We capture 100's in road sweeper waste weekly and recently removed 72 vapes over 1 shift processing kerbside recyclables. Its a waste of resource and massive fire risk

Comparison ....
The Thames: 18 tonnes of plastics flow into the ocean in a year (which we'd all love to be zero).
The Yangtze: 1,500,000 tonnes!
Q. If solving global ocean plastics is the goal, focusing solely on the UK aint gonna get it done.
