Dirty Business: Recycling

Sarah Best

Here is a documentary from Sky News about recycling and it could be used for the Global Development unit.

The film follows the chain of organisations that help dispose of waste from British households. China recently changed its laws preventing the import of much of the waste from other countries around the world, and this subsequently has had a number of knock-on effects for other countries including Britain.
