    China to U.S.: Please stop sending us your junk

    For decades, shipping containers have been loaded with American scrap and waste and dispatched to China for recycling.It's a $5 billion annual business that is now in danger of sinking.
    Beijing notified the World Trade Organization in July that it plans to ban the import of 24 varieties of solid waste, including types of plastic and unsorted paper commonly sent from the U.S.
    China said that the ban would take effect from September, giving American companies little time to prepare. ISRI estimates that roughly a fifth of the trade is at risk.
    The announcement has made U.S. recyclers that trade with China very nervous. "In the short term we're going to see a significant drop of exports from the U.S. into China, and there is a little bit of panic in the market," said Adina Adler, an official at the U.S. Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI). "We respect what the Chinese government is trying to do ... and we want to be helpful, but they gave us practically no time for any kind of transition," said Adler.

    I think part of the issue right now is that it's tied in with the Trade agreement and US companies earn up to 5 billion which would otherwise just end up in landfills. So, what happens when these companies lose that revenue? Who will end up making up those losses.......

    Its all part of the end of recycling, actually in my local paper chinas consumption was one reason for the decline.

    Big urban areas have to put up incinerators

    Interesting. So this BAN may already be affecting areas. That's worrisome. Especially since places are not prepared.
