UK plastic waste exports to developing nations rose 84% in early 2025, defying a 2023 ban pledge.
UK plastic waste exports to developing nations jumped 84% in the first half of 2025, driven by sharp increases to Indonesia and Malaysia, according to data from The Last Beach Cleanup using UN Comtrade records.
Despite a 2023 pledge to ban such exports, no action has been taken, and 20% of UK plastic waste now goes to non-OECD countries—up from 11% in 2024.
Environmental groups condemn the trend as unethical "waste imperialism," urging the UK to close loopholes and align with the EU’s upcoming 2026 export ban.
