Malaysia’s growing plastic recycling industry
Countries like the UK have increased their plastic waste exports to Malaysia now they can no longer export to China.
China’s ban on importing plastic waste means exporting countries need to find new places to send their recyclables.
This could well end up revolutionising global recycling by making smaller countries improve their capacity to recycle and changing their view of the process.
