Environment Minister makes statement after BBC series
The Environment Minister says Manx waste, unlike a considerable amount of that from the UK, doesn't end up in Malaysia.
It follows the screening of a BBC series hosted by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
'War on Plastic' showed viewers huge amounts of UK plastic waste ending up in the Asian country.
Geoffrey Boot says most of the Island's plastic is turned into electricity:
