Not surprising. We know China has stopped taking plastic and other stuff from the US.
There was an article similar here on HN where plastics meant to be recycled end up in very odd places. It’s basically sold for pennies and transported to different places where it’s finally just stockpiled as garbage. Strange business of how it changes hands.
- smsm42 2y agoIt's actually good that they stopped because there was a period when they found out it's no longer profitable to recycle it, but it's still pays well to get it shipped so they re-shipped it to somewhere like Vietnam where it ended up dumped into the sea. At least now people are paying attention that "recycling" doesn't seem to mean what they think it means.
