Or if you're more conscientious, you ship it to China instead. Then, of course, one day COVID hits, China closes its borders and your green, eco-friendly, carbon-reducing recycling facility grinds to a halt because the plastic keeps coming but you can't ship it away.

- jazzyjackson 5y agoI feel this must have been sarcasm, probably related to how sending plastic to a recycling facility was just as likely to end up in the ocean thanks to China buying it off of recycling dealers (for ballast IIRC, can't send all those cargo ships back empty)

- Joker_vD 5y agoNo, it actually was. Source: I wrote that comment.
- tpmx 5y agoOkay, seems like it was hijacked. My comment ("Are you seriously claiming that the Chinese government is better than the Polish government at making sure this kind of trash is handled correctly?") is currently at -4.

- rad_gruchalski 5y agoIn Poland this has been going on for years. It has nothing to do with China and covid.
- gruez 5y ago>Then, of course, one day COVID hits, China closes its borders I doubt China closed its borders to cargo because of covid.
