Synopsis
While nine out of ten people claim to recycle rubbish, only six per cent of Britain's domestic waste is actually recycled - compared with 42 per cent in Switzerland, 34 per cent in Germany and 36 per cent in the Netherlands. And household rubbish is expected to double over the next 20 years. This book explores the current situation in the UK and new strategies which aim to improve our recycling record. The information comes from a variety of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
