Why is Malaysia sending our rubbish back?
Recycling from the UK is piling up in South East Asia.
This week Malaysia ordered several thousand tonnes of imported plastic waste to be sent back to the countries it came from. The country鈥檚 government says it has become a dumping ground for wealthier nations and that much of the refuse has been imported illegally. Some of it is from the UK. We talk rubbish with comedian Phil Wang who was brought up in Malaysia and the 大象传媒鈥檚 South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head, who has been visiting waste recycling plants in Thailand.
