Companies and environmental groups are calling on Stormont to usher in a more consistent approach to recycling across Northern Ireland's council areas.
They say we currently export around 90,000 tonnes of recyclables collected from NI households each year, while companies with ability to repurpose it are forced to ship in materials for their recycling plants from other countries.
Now Encirc, Enva, Bryson Recycling and Friends of the Earth have launched a Keep Recycling Local campaign urging authorities to make changes that could save millions and damage the planet less.
