THE government’s decision to send imported plastic waste back to countries of origin is commendable and should be supported (“DOE gets tough on e-waste”, The Star, May 30; online at bit.ly/star_dump).

It is also in line with the government’s ban on the import of plastic waste and proposed amendment of the law to make it mandatory to send electronic waste (e-waste) to licensed recyclers.
