From a kerbside in Northern Europe to an illegal dumping ground in the Far East. That is the route taken by countless tonnes of household recycling. Instead of being used again it is often going into landfill - or simply burned. Is the recycling system a sham?

Joining us at the Roundtable is Margaret Bates, former president of the Chartered Institution of Waste Management; Mick Davis, Chief Operating Officer at Biffa - one of the UK's biggest operators; Sarah-Jane Widdowson, Waste Management Consultant; and Karl Williams, Professor of Waste Management at The University of Central Lancashire.

Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
