Ambitious proposals to reduce the number of polluting cars on UK roads are nothing new. In fact, car scrappage schemes have become the norm for most major car brands. Likewise, local and national government offices have been rolling out their own initiatives to tackle carbon emissions.
One of the first scrappage schemes introduced offered drivers a […]
Ongoing efforts to ensure ambitious UK recycling targets are met seem to be having little to no effect. Once again, evidence suggests that recycling levels remain worse than they were back in 2014.
