Opinion: Unblocking the road to plastic recycling

Journalism, Media And Communication

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Boris Johnson’s recent comments that recycling plastic materials “doesn’t work” has potentially added further complexity to the already challenged recycling sector. The PM, who was answering children’s questions ahead of COP26, went on to say that recycling “is not the answer” to threats to global oceans and marine wildlife.

The resulting fallout has triggered heated comments from both sides of the plastics recycling fence.
