英国快报:欧洲委员会昨天宣布,欧洲理事会计划在2030年前实现对70%的生活垃圾回收再利用.而对于没有正确进行垃圾分类的家庭严惩不贷.

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.
