81 NGOs (non-governmental organisations) have signed an open letter calling on the UK government to extend its upcoming consultation on banning UK plastic waste exports to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The coalition of civil society groups from close to 40 countries has called on the UK government to back a “comprehensive ban” on UK plastic waste exports ahead of an anticipated government consultation.
