In this photo Greenpeace activists dump bags of plastic waste at the main entrance to Downing Street in a protest against the UK governments exporting of plastic waste on July 13, 2021 in London, England. 625 kilograms of plastic recycling has been dumped at Downing Street, the same volume that the UK exports every 30 seconds, and left by Greenpeace. A figure of the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, in a Spitting Image-style mask was also at the scene. The intervention by Greenpeace comes as the Turkish government announced a U-turn on its decision to restrict imports of most types of plastic, raising the prospect of more UK recycling ending up illegally dumped or burned in Turkey.
