India Imposes Complete Ban on Solid Plastic Waste Imports
The dumping of "recycling" onto other countries just goes to show what a lie recycling actually is.It's not recycling, it's just garbage, but the word recycling makes us feel good about sending it to some other country to be dumped.With India and China refusing it, look to the "recycling" companies to make deals with countries that don't have the political will to say no to accepting the worlds plastic and paper garbage.Why are we spewing out an infinite quantity of single use plastic and packaging?It's all about the packaging industry and profit.The thing that annoys me most is the in almost 100% of cases, the solutions discussed are about "how do we make use of all this plastic and other waste?", instead of asking the question "why haven't we turned off the tap?"
