"A £300m criminal trade that smuggled rubbish out of the UK is so toxic that the trash is being sent home. Cahal Milmo saw it finish its journey from Jakarta to Felixstowe"

"Nearly 90 containers, each weighing more than 30 tonnes, have arrived back in the bustling Suffolk dockyard of Felixstowe in the past fortnight. Their journey began last November when they left scrapyards in southern England for Indonesia, labelled as 'recyclable' material with a value of $500,000 (£318,000).
"... Four UK companies are
now being investigated by the Environment Agency (EA) to see if they
sent contaminated and potentially toxic waste to the Indonesian capital,
Jakarta, in contravention of laws designed to combat a global epidemic
of cross-border dumping."
