Stop Wales Being Europe’s Bin: Bring Recycling Home

This policy hits the nail on the head regarding the absurdity of exporting our plastic waste. It’s utterly disgraceful that we offload our environmental responsibilities onto nations that lack the infrastructure to cope. But this isn't just about plastic; it’s symbolic of Westminster’s broader neglect of Wales, treating us as a convenient dumping ground for its problems, be it waste or anything else. We need a Welsh solution, not just a rebranded UK one.

The current system allows companies to shirk their duties, and it's precisely this kind of outsourced responsibility that an independent Wales would end. Instead of simply banning exports, which might just shift the problem elsewhere within the UK, we should be establishing Wales as a leader in circular economy technologies.
