b. Countries exported to:
India
Indonesia

China
Malaysia
Portugal
Korea
Turkey
Latvia
As the recycling we send to our contractor is less than the total capacity they process, where they then send on the materials they sort relates to their total output not just the recycling they process on behalf of Lincolnshire. Therefore LCC can only list the countries where they send it and do not know what fraction relates to LCC
