ESA looks for further UK progress in the European recycling league
This report by the Environmental Services Association (ESA), (the voice of the UK's waste management industry), has commented on reports that the UK has risen up the European recycling league table. ESA's Communications Officer, Rid Hollands, said:

"As the latest Eurostat provisional statistics show, recycling levels in the UK have risen dramatically in the last ten years or so, and our members are at the forefront of ensuring these rates continue to rise.
