Why China doesn't want your waste anymore - BBC News
The UK sends large amounts of waste plastic and paper to China every year.
But a new ban, ordered by the Beijing government, is about to stop most of that - and it could have a significant impact on recycling in the UK.

Your comment is spot on, also most the things westerners buy are made in China, we have no problem buying the stuff but we're perfectly happy to blame every environmental issue on a developing nation, even though per capita the US pollutes 4 times as much as China, and the only reason we're first world nations is because we did the same in the industrial revolution, only we were far worse. China is the biggest investor in green energy.

China does well
Good for them. I visited China in 2010, beautiful country, but very polluted water and air. About time they addressed and started actively doing something about that. We in the states need to cut down on consumption and do something with all the waste. Lots of raw material we could do things with.
Just throw it in the ocean. Problem solved.

India COULD do it but it would be detrimental to their environment. What the BBC failed to mention is that a when China imported unsorted recycle from western nations a large portion of that is unrecyclable waste, with many toxic substances as people don’t sort their recycling properly. China would gladly take other country’s sorted recycling but that makes no economic sense for anyone, what China was essentially doing was sorting out rich countries’ recyclables.

dope beat!
let each country recycles their own waste since it s a good business and good for the nature. there is still no substitution for plastic, paper bag is even worse for environment. the problem is not on the plastic itself, but the management. if every single plastic can be collected and recycled there will be no plastic floating on the sea. reusable bag only works for supermarket for already packed stuffs, no one goes to market and keeps their fish meat or vegetables in their reusable bags concerning the hygiene
When I was a truck driver, in the US, I would send a lot of recycling material to China. Mostly paper but also a lot of plastic and even metal. The major thing for this is that China and the US have a huge trade imbalance or deficit, and everything is shipped in containers. They need those containers back to make shipping products here affordable, so they can get the recycle material cheap plus the container holding it back cheap. I used to drop off a load at a warehouse and then drive back to waste management or sometimes a printing company pick up the recycle paper and drop it off at the rail yard, it was a nice 2 for 1 paid very well.
More recycling is good
We receive thousands of containers of sub-par electronics yearly AND the containers themselves . Here in California we must pay E-Waste Fees . . ... Wouldn’t it be CHEAPER to reload those containers with faulty LED bulbs etc...and send 'em BACK ?
They'll take steel though. At very short notice...
UK can do it better.
Send them to India
No problem atm the company I am working for are starting to ship them to India and Bangladesh. We have stopped sending the plastic waste to China about 2 years ago.
Well they could always 3D print houses for cheap everyone to buy
Finally
Was a business to China. Australian recycler VISY makes a huge sum for recycling. Rate payers pay for removal of rubbish and these companies make a fortune. Maybe China will move these operations to Africa where they are heavily involved in manufacturing and importing their cheap products?
Just give them to somewhere else
Good strategic decision
Is that all ? Not much of a report !
I thought Americans understand the saying “clean up your own **” when they invented the term!

So... And the reason for the change is what?
it is definitely a wise move for Chinese environment.Shame for those who throw out their own rubbish to other nations!
Im generally not in favor of government subsidies but I think governments should subsidize the creation of large recycling plants in every country. Transporting waste is ridiculous. It would create jobs, its good for the environment and is a very worthy endeavor.
Shouldn't the questionbe why China used to receive overseas waste?

Unlike the leaders in UK recycling who apparently have no idea how to recycle the 400,000 tonnes + plastic waste now that the Chinese have stopped taking it we do know what to do with it. Having developed the technology to make heavy-duty, structurally engineered composites using mixed plastic packaging waste it is ready to be used to turn plastic waste into a valuable resource. The resulting maintenance free composite products can be used in place of tropical hardwood, avoiding the destruction of our rain forests, as well as an ideal replacement for softwood presently treated with carcinogenic creosote, which as a preservative will at last be banned as of May 2018. These and many other products weighing 60% less than concrete and almost unbreakable offer macro-scale ongoing markets to demonstrate why the UK is a world leader in innovation.

Island Ceo I think it's good for the countries in the long run, good for China and good for the world if everyone started to recycle garbage.
Yes, they dont want the bad garbage, but countries will soon raise the price of good garbage that can be recycled and sold back. It's only a matter of time, as garbage is built up to the point that companies creating these waste will be held accountable. But as consumers..we can stop buying these one use items. It's a vicious cycle we all contribute too.
It’s simply because China’ economy can produce enough garage to recycle and make into products. The focus should be collecting domestic garbage and recycling them more efficiently. It will force the recycling industry to find way to collect more domestic recyclable material.
Shipping rubbish is economical ? BTW, buy trash, ship finished goods, great profits for intelligent Chinese.
How about America builds its own recycling plants to create new jobs while helping the environment
Economy may be important, but sustainable environment is more important, garbage collection has a lot of pollution, please let our environment rest, we have been for you to dispose of rubbish for many years.
