英国对发展中国家的塑料废物出口在2025年初上升了84%,这违反了2023年的禁令承诺。 UK plastic waste exports to developing nations rose 84% in early 2025, defying a 2023 ban pledge.

根据联合国商品贸易统计数据库记录的《最后海滩清理》的数据,在印度尼西亚和马来西亚急剧增加的驱动下,联合王国向发展中国家出口的塑料废物在2025年上半年上升84%。 UK plastic waste exports to developing nations jumped 84% in the first half of 2025, driven by sharp increases to Indonesia and Malaysia, according to data from The Last Beach Cleanup using UN Comtrade records. 尽管2023年作出了禁止此类出口的承诺,但没有采取任何行动,联合王国20%的塑料废物现在流向非经合组织国家,比2024年的11%有所增加。 Despite a 2023 pledge to ban such exports, no action has been taken, and 20% of UK plastic waste now goes to non-OECD countries—up from 11% in 2024. 环境团体谴责这一不道德的“废旧帝国主义”趋势,敦促英国堵塞漏洞,遵守欧盟即将到来的2026年出口禁令。 Environmental groups condemn the trend as unethical "waste imperialism," urging the UK to close loopholes and align with the EU’s upcoming 2026 export ban.
