Britain's Environment Minister has announced the formation of a new task force to combat crimes in waste management. According to him, it is necessary to continue applying pressure on organized criminal groups engaged in illegal waste disposal. The new structure will include representatives from government, police officers, city mayors, and heads of local authorities. The pooling of efforts by various agencies is intended to increase the effectiveness of combating illegal waste trafficking, which damages the environment and creates health risks for the population. Organized crime in the waste sector remains a serious problem for Britain: illegal dumps, unlicensed processing, and waste trafficking result in significant environmental and financial losses. The creation of a special task force is viewed as part of a broader government strategy to tighten control over the industry and hold those responsible accountable. The new structure is expected to coordinate actions across different levels of government, share information about suspicious activities, and develop joint measures to suppress illegal practices.
