Recycling Shipped to China to be Burnt as Cheap Fuel
Recycling is being shipped to China where it is being burnt as cheap fuel,
according to a new report calling for a whole new approach to disposing of
waste in the UK.

The Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) said the Government's
policy of recycling as much as possible is failing to help the environment
because materials are being dumped in landfill or shipped to developing
countries.
.
Instead the experts said there should be a factory in every town or
village to generate energy from waste either through burning or
composting.
.
The Government is trying to cut the enormous amount of waste that goes to
landfill every year. However the IMechE said recycling rates are not as
high as ministers claim. This is because the figures are based on the
amount of waste collected for recycling, rather than the actual amount of
waste that is being recycled.
.
In fact some material collected for recycling is sent to landfill because
it is not appropriate for processing or shipped to China where it is used
as a cheap fuel. Furthermore the waste that is recycled in the UK uses a
huge amount of energy for transport and processing, which counteracts the
environmental benefits of recycling.
.
In a hard-hitting report, the IMechE called for a whole new strategy
focusing on "energy from waste". This would see a new generation of
incinerators, that burn waste for energy and anaerobic digesters, that
process waste to make biofuel, springing up around the country.
