Scenic loch becomes magnet for Scotland’s plastic waste
‘At the head of beautiful Loch Long in Argyll sits one of Scotland’s biggest plastic problems.
About 62,000 items wash up on the beach each year, much of it from the waterways in and around Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city.
Campaigners say the only solution is to stop the waste entering the water in the first place – and that the introduction of a deposit return scheme for bottles and cans would play a major role in doing just that.’
