Answer 1

Britain is also a major supplier of plastics, cars, motorbikes, films, music aerospace products, alcohol, and finally, electrical and electronic equipment such as chips in Ipods, military equipment, food products, and clothes. Britain is responsible for 10 per cent of the world's export of services, including banking, insurance, stockbroking, consultancy and computer programming.

Food, beverages and tobacco are major non-manufactured imports, whilst machinery and transport equipment accounted for just under half of all imports in 2000. Other major imports include chemicals, fuels, clothing and footwear.

In 2009 Britain became the world's first nation to recycle any electrical product, no matter what it is. If it has a plug, it can be recycled. Every plug, screw, bolt, electrical board, and all components inside are stripped out and recycled in new products, then the leftover casing is shredded and recycled to make new electrical products. This is now a large export. You can sift through all of the shredded plastic and not find one piece of metal. Everything is recycled.
