✍️ Organised crime groups in the UK are making millions from illegally dumping and burning rubbish due to a lack of enforcement, according to a Lords committee.
👉 At least 38m tonnes of waste is illegally managed every year 👉 Waste crime costs the UK economy £1bn a year 👉 Organised criminals see the waste sector as a 'low-risk opportunity to make large sums of money' 👉 The Environment Agency and police have been criticized for failing to effectively tackle waste crime
