英國快報:歐洲委員會昨天宣布,歐洲理事會計劃在2030年前實現對70%的生活垃圾回收再利用.而對于沒有正確進行垃圾分類的家庭嚴懲不貸.

UK's Express: The European Commission yesterday announced plans for councils to recycle 70 per cent of household waste by 2030. It is an increase on the current 50 per cent target set for 2020, with new rules demanding at least 80 per cent of packing waste is included.

The commission is also considering a ban on sending any recyclable waste to landfill sites by 2025. Doretta Cocks, of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collection, said households could face further fines if councils fail to meet the targets.

Laws which already allow local authorities to slap hefty fines on people who put their rubbish out on the wrong day or use the wrong bin are under review.
