Nearly two years after China's ban on imports of plastic waste, what are the implications for plastic waste trade flows for the rest of the world?
China's ban on the imports of plastic waste has had a significant impact across the rest of the world given it's a vital cog in the global market. The impact of the ban was felt instantly particularly for the US and Europe, which were exporting a large percentage of their recycled plastics to China.
