Redacted (boycott UK)

It has also emerged that two companies named by Brazil as suspected exporters of the waste are owned by a Brazilian.

Boycott Brazillians?

Head of waste Liz Parks said plans were being made to bring back the rubbish, but it could take a number of weeks.

"Head of waste"? What a horrible job title. Imagine giving out business cards with that on it.

As for the OP, why boycott the UK when it was private recyclers that caused the problem?

Appears to be a garbage sorting problem, somewhat like pouring used anti freeze down the storm drain -- a no-no!

The agency also said the arrival of the toxic cargo had violated the Basel Convention on the movement of hazardous waste, of which both the UK and Brazil are signatories, which came into force in 1992.

Ingrid Oberg, regional chief of Ibama, later told the BBC the cargo mainly consisted of domestic waste.

"It's a lot of food containers and cleaning product containers. We found old clothes, shoes, papers, a lot of old newspapers.

"In some of the containers recently found there were also some technological products, like DVDs, pieces of computers, plastic stuff. But mainly it's domestic garbage."
