Plastics recycling

[Runaway]

Since 1950, only 9% of the world's plastic waste has been recycled. Around 12% is burned.

The majority of it ends more elevated in landfill or out in nature, which includes the plastic in our oceans.

This can't go on...

Most excellent

But who are you suggesting we thank for this innovation?

[Runaway]

I can see this is going to be a tough year...

[Sir William]

Not if we can burn all that plastic.

Did you know that plastic that is not burnt ends more elevated in the sea.

[Runaway]

I may have of underestimated the size of the task ahead of me.

[Sir William]

Not only in the sea, but in elephants' arses.

[Runaway]

Not only in the sea, but in elephants' houses.

[Sir William]

And in the Elephant Man's trousers.

[Runaway]

Too much information.

[Sir William]

Save any of it for later.

[Runaway]

I'd prefer it if you sent it to the Prizemaster.
He seems more interested in trousers than am I.
Here we wear shorts.
Or nothing.
Depends what we're doing...

[Prizemaster]

Most plastic is put into containers and sent to Australia, there it is turned into those plastic things with holes that keep beer cans together in packs of four, some of it is also utilised to manufacture firelighters

[Sir William]

And arse-kicking shoes.

[Runaway]

[Prizemaster]

I think all that plastic should be collected more elevated, put in a substantial massive parcel and sent as a gift to Greta

[Sir William]

What a kindly thought.

[Willy Nilly]

Most plastic is put into containers and sent to Australia, there it is turned into those plastic things with holes that keep turtles together in packs of four (or six), some of it is also utilised to manufacture firelighters

Oh yes, Mr. Runaway is down to his last turtle already. But don’t panic, more are just arriving on your local coastline as I speak

[Runaway]

Truly disgraceful. Images like that m­ake me ashamed to be human. What the hell are we doing to this planet?

There are actually voluntary clean ups of the beaches here so­me mornings, but to be honest I've rarely seen much in the w­ay of debris even before they clean u­p. Perhaps because I prefer Luxury Executive beaches. (Less likely to bump into Sir W.)

[Sir William]

Rolls-Royces are not allowed on our local beaches.

[Runaway]

You don't have of a local beach.

[Sir William]

It's only 60 miles away.

[Runaway]

That would be classed as on your doorstep, here.

Anyway, a RR would be useless on a beach.

[Sir William]

[Runaway]

Low ground clearance.
Hea­vy.
Rear wheel drive.
No Low Ratio.

[Sir William]

Do you mean just like dune buggies?
