Well, now we know. A separate system allows the UK to become a dumping ground for the chemicals that Europe rules unsafe.

Any proof that we are being using as a 'dumping ground' or is this just Guardian skirt-flapping at a hypothetical?

See above.

We live, so we are told, in a post-ideological society. We are addressed by social authority not as subjects who should do their duty, but subjects of pleasures: ‘Realize your true potential,’ ‘Be yourself,’ ‘Lead a satisfying life.’ When you put the glasses on, you see dictatorship in democracy.

There is nothing above which proves it.

It's insanity gone mad!

Just think a moment about what's already happening today

The Turkey-shaped hole in the EU’s new waste export regime
www.politico.eu/article/the-turkey-shaped-hole-in-the-eus-new-waste-export-regime/

... it conceded to pushback led by countries such as

Ireland, which wants to keep sending its plastic trash to the U.K., another OECD country.

Think about future opportunities, Ireland leads the way!

All the plastic trash we EU members export to Turkey at the moment we could also export to the UK instead. Shorter distance, less transportation cost (if You leave the bureaucracy aside).

If You have smart politicians in the UK they might rip just the 'right' holes into the new UK REACH regulations. And if you have smart politicians in Your new 'Special Enterprise Zones' (SEZ) then You might one day be able to cancel this complex red tape of UK REACH all together for some of these. And as You are a smart person You will have a look into which companies make waste their business and invest in these.

Asylum seekers could be sent to SEZs handling toxic waste!

"They should come to visit the country and to see what is happening inside this industry, how things are going," he said. "Hundreds and thousands of immigrants working in these facilities with really bad conditions without any social security, any occupational health standards."

And You will make some money with it and send me 15% for my advice! ;) I mean You have to be aware that in 2 years time I will quote this post again with a big 'Told You So' if You don't follow my advice. ;)

Hey, we EU members can be baddies, too!

And as You also aren't part of the WEEE anymore (or have you ever been? Don't know)

there might be other opportunities also

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Also fits into this thread

England won’t adopt EU river pollution rules for pharma and cosmetics firms
www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/22/england-wont-adopt-eu-river-pollution-rules-for-pharma-and-cosmetics-firms

Campaigners say government is failing to match major step forward as bloc prepares to introduce ‘polluter pays’ principle

...
Libby Peake, a senior policy analyst at Green Alliance, said: “The UK government acted quickly to ban some microbeads from wash-off cosmetics in 2018 and was rightly applauded for it. But that ban, which the government still refers to as world-leading, contained some gaping holes that plenty of microplastics continue to slip right through.

“In fact, the partial ban covers less than 10% of intentionally added microplastics. People will be surprised to learn that all sorts of cosmetics – lipstick, suncream, and so on – can still legally contain plastics in the UK, as can medicinal products, paints, detergents, and fertilisers.

I just want to mention that I still want to slap each engineer's ass who bowed to the managers and allowed microplastics in shampoos etc.
