Dear all, The usual disclaimer about self-promotion. However, China has just made clear that it will indeed enforce restrictions on certain scrap imports as of March 1st, and they have already rocked the recycling industry - and likely your own towns and cities if you are in any of the richer countries, especially the US and UK.
This piece of mine, first of a larger waste project I’m working on, appeared in The Conversation <https://theconversation.com/us> - which, to add an additional plug, I use a lot for in-class case studies and examples. The case here addresses plastics scrap, which of course is also a huge issue for the world’s oceans. https://theconversation.com/will-chinas-crackdown-on-foreign-garbage-force-wealthy-countries-to-recycle-more-of-their-own-waste-81440 Best for 2018!
