Concerns surrounding the safety and environmental impact of plastics have dominated the news cycle in recent years, however attention has generally centred on the packaging industry as the primary driver of plastic pollution.<\/p>\n<p>A new analysis of European Commission data published by the Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP) shines light on the growing rate of plastic waste generated by the UK\u2019s construction industry, which has risen 15 times faster than other European countries since the turn of the century. The research shows that the amount of plastic waste generated by the UK construction industry increased at an average rate of 210% every two years between 2004 and 2018 \u2013 the last year data was collected on construction waste.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, plastic waste from construction activity across EU member states rose by an average rate of 14% every two years over the same period. The research also shows that across all UK industries, plastic waste increased by an average rate of 4% every two years \u2013 nearly 50 times lower than the rate of growth observed in construction.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buildersmerchantsnews.co.uk\/Plastic-waste-from-UK-construction-industry-has-grown-15-times-faster-than-rest-of-Europe-\/57812\">BMN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-567\/\">Plastic waste from UK construction industry has grown 15 times faster than rest of Europe<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4900,575,761,579],"class_list":["post-132774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-construction","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132774\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
