Some other key takeaways include findings that the top 10 exporting countries are all high-income, developed nations, and that these countries export more than 4.4 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, accounting for 71% of all plastic waste exports.<\/p>\n<p>The company identifies Germany, Japan, and the UK as the top three plastic waste exporting countries, while the Netherlands, Turkey, and Germany are reportedly the top three importers of plastic waste. While the report claims that many nations have reduced their plastic waste exports over the past year \u2013 the US by 28%, and Germany by 6%, for example \u2013 Japan\u2019s exports have apparently increased by 7% in the last year. Meanwhile, CleanHub says that Canada\u2019s and the Netherlands\u2019 have grown by 10% and 69% respectively in the past four years. On a macro level, the report claims that around five million tonnes of used plastic are exported each year, 55% of which are discarded.<\/p>\n<p>According to CleanHub\u2019s findings, the exporting of plastic waste has become a cheaper alternative to properly processing it. This system, the report says, keeps the carbon and plastic footprints of countries low \u2013 and maintains the impression that they\u2019re progressing towards their net-zero targets. Meanwhile, the exported waste is often burned or dumped illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/packagingeurope.com\/news\/report-european-countries-make-up-7-of-top-10-plastic-waste-exporters\/11307.article\">Packaging Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-518\/\">Report: European countries make up 7 of top 10 plastic waste exporters<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,761,7605],"class_list":["post-130231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste","tag-waste-export"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130231\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
