    UK can create 5,400 jobs if it stops plastic waste exports, report finds | Plastics

    The UK could end its reliance on exporting plastic waste by 2030 to support the creation of 5,400 new jobs and take responsibility for the environmental impact of its waste, according to research.

    The report said up to 15 new recycling facilities could be built by the end of the decade, attracting more than £800m of private investment. The increase in capacity would help generate almost £900m of economic value every year; providing at least £100m of new tax revenues annually.

    The report by Hybrid Economics comes as Britain’s plastic exports rose by 5% in 2024 to nearly 600,000 tonnes of waste.

    Exporting plastic creates environmental problems for many countries that receive it, as they do not have the ability to recycle it. It also, the report argues, removes valuable feedstock for a British recycling industry.

    Campaigners want the loophole that makes it cheaper to export plastic waste rather than recycle it in the UK, closed.

    Exports have soared in the first part of this year to Indonesia in particular – a country struggling with an environmental crisis from plastic pollution – amounting to more than 24,000 tonnes.

    The report said that by exporting the unprocessed plastic waste it produces, the UK is evading its responsibility to deal with its own waste and was denying itself an economic opportunity.

    The Guardian revealed last month that, in the past two years, 21 plastic recycling and processing factories across the UK have shut down owing to the scale of exports, the cheap price of virgin plastic and an influx of cheap products from Asia.

    Neville Hill, partner at Hybrid Economics, which produced the report, said the UK was only using half of its potential for recycling plastic waste. He said: “Ending exports of unprocessed plastic packaging waste by 2030 would allow the UK to take control of its environmental responsibilities and seize a clear economic opportunity.

    “Our analysis shows the sector can expand significantly with no call on public funds, provided government sets the right framework.”

    The way payments are made up at present incentivises the export of plastic waste, rather than encouraging businesses to keep it in the UK to be recycled.

    James McLeary, the managing director of Biffa Polymers, which commissioned the report, said the company had recycled 10bn plastic HDPE milk bottles in the last 20 years. He described this as a circular economy success story.

    “The lesson is simple. When the right conditions are in place, UK recycling grows, investment follows and the environmental and economic benefits build year after year. The UK can replicate that success across all plastic packaging and take responsibility for processing its own waste onshore.”

    The report is calling for an increase in the plastic packaging tax, which is imposed on producers who fail to include at least 30% of recycled plastic in their products, to 50% and a total phasing out of exports of unprocessed plastic packaging waste.

  • Benoy appointed lead urban designer and commercial strategist for SAR 1 billion Riyadh East scheme

    Benoy appointed lead urban designer and commercial strategist for SAR 1 billion Riyadh East scheme

    Dar wa Emaar has appointed Benoy as lead urban designer and commercial strategist for Riyadh East, a SAR 1 billion, mixed-use neighbourhood spanning 116 hectares on the eastern edge of Riyadh. 

    The partnership was marked by the signing of a strategic agreement between Dar wa Emaar and Benoy last week at Cityscape Global.

    Developed by Benoy’s Commercial Strategy and Masterplanning & Urban Design teams, Riyadh East offers a welcoming new neighbourhood shaped around contemporary living and generous climate-responsive green corridors that bring nature into daily life. Its mix of homes, community facilities, learning spaces, pocket parks and neighbourhood hubs creates a commercially viable, walkable community for families and young professionals alike.

    Ruchi Chakravarty, Director, Masterplanning & Urban Design, said: ​“Riyadh East sets a bold new standard for Saudi urbanism, where sustainability and social value lead the design. It represents an ambitious yet grounded vision that elevates Riyadh’s long-term growth and defines the future of high-quality neighbourhoods in the Kingdom.”

    Amr Elfeky, Executive Director, Development & Investment at Dar wa Emaar commented: ​“Our partnership with Benoy marks a pivotal step in shaping Riyadh East into a next-generation community. Benoy’s global design expertise, coupled with their deep understanding of how people live and interact with spaces, aligns seamlessly with our vision for a human-centered, future-ready masterplan. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for community development in the Kingdom.”

    Strategically positioned along the Riyadh – Dammam corridor, Riyadh East will be anchored by a curated mix of exciting new amenities, all designed to welcome passing visitors and drive commercial investment. 

    Andrew McVicker, Director, Commercial Strategy, said: ​“Riyadh East will redefine dynamic, contemporary community living. Our approach ensures a vibrant, multi-use destination designed for long-term economic sustainability and enduring value.”

    A continuous green spine forms the ecological and social backbone of the district, promoting active mobility, biodiversity, and climate resilience while uniting the community through a shared landscape. District neighbourhoods are conceived as walkable clusters, each with its own architectural and landscape identity. This mosaic approach supports inclusivity, housing diversity, and flexible, phased growth, allowing the district to evolve with lasting character.

    Aligned with the Mostadam framework and the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030, Benoy’s vision for Riyadh East demonstrates how a commitment to integrated design and commercial insight can deliver a district that is both highly liveable and economically robust.

  • policy progress, challenges, and pathways forward – CEPS

    policy progress, challenges, and pathways forward – CEPS


    Gender equality and gender mainstreaming have been established as central priorities within the European Union’s current Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (R&I), Horizon Europe (2021–27). The European Commission has demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting gender equality through measures such as mandatory Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) and the systemic integration of the gender perspective in research. However, despite progress, available data indicate that advancements remain slow, underscoring the need for more robust action by the EU to achieve meaningful equality in this field. 

    Drawing on existing literature and data, this paper introduces a new theoretical framework for analysing the integration of gender equality and gender mainstreaming in Horizon Europe across three interrelated dimensions: structural, epistemic and substantive. It conceptualises gender equality in R&I as a circle, where progress in one dimension can mutually reinforce advancement in the others. The paper further identifies emerging themes and priority areas for the next Framework Programme, addressing persistent challenges in gender equality, and proposes seven targeted policy actions. 

    Implementing these measures would enhance the EU’s capacity to mainstream gender in research, strengthen its leadership in promoting gender equality, and its position as a global example for gender-responsive R&I.
