WE are happy and proud that another 150 containers of plastic waste have been sent back to their country of origin at no cost to taxpayers. This is all thanks to the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Ministry (Mestecc) and Customs Department, “We don’t want your plastic” (The Star, Jan 21).
This move sends a tough and stern warning that our country will not be a rubbish dump for other countries, especially developed countries that falsely preach about their supposedly high recycling rate. Reality now is being dumped on their own doorstep and there is a big stink surrounding their recycling policies and implementation.
