What does it mean to ban the import of foreign garbage from 2021?

From 2021, the import of foreign garbage will be completely banned, which means that China's environmental protection can be better protected.

In the 11 years from 2000 to 2011, China's imports of waste from the U.S. soared from 100 million to $100 million, according to a group of U.S. international committees. China is the world's leading importer of "foreign garbage", receiving 56% of the world's garbage. More than 500 million tons of e-waste are produced globally every year, of which 70% goes to China.

Britain** once described it this way, "Container ships from China to Britain are loaded with all kinds of Chinese manufacturing, and these ships are filled with all kinds of British waste and **garbage when they return to the sea." "The steady stream of foreign garbage has formed a solid industrial chain in China, but the price of supporting this industrial chain is environmental pollution. According to the survey, 85% of the general plastic waste can be used in a ton, and the rest of the real waste can only be disposed of nearby.

The simple disposal is to throw it directly next to the farmland and let the garbage erode the farmland; A slightly more complicated method of disposal is incineration, and the black smoke rising from the suburbs is proof that this garbage once existed. The cleaning and crushing links in the process require a lot of water resources to complete, but many foreign plastic factories are small workshop-style production models, and the processing links are directly discharged into nearby rivers without any treatment, and the rivers near these factories are almost floating with a layer of white foam (including washing powder, sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, caustic soda, etc.), and fish and shrimp are even dead. The process of garbage has also caused irreversible damage to the health of workers.

As a result, China, realizing the seriousness of the problem, decided to ban foreign garbage from entering the country.

From the world's "garbage dumps" to a complete ban on the import of solid waste, China's independent garbage disposal system has been gradually established. Let the earth truly "environmentally friendly", this journey is difficult and steady for Chinese.

This means that China now attaches great importance to environmental protection, and it also shows that China's economic development is getting better and better, and environmental protection is more important than economic development.

This means that China no longer needs to gain a firm foothold in the world through the study of "foreign garbage", and has begun to pay attention to domestic environmental problems, and I believe that China's environment will be greatly improved and better and better in the future.

It means that China will develop a high-quality ecological economy with the goal that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, so that the people's living standards and environment can be improved. Put an end to all imported foreign garbage from flooding in the country.

It has a great impact on China's ecological environment, and China has completely banned foreign garbage from entering the country, which will make our country's ecological environment better.

Through such measures, we can reduce the entry of foreign garbage into our country, which has a very good impact on our country's ecological environment and can better protect our current ecology.

This can ensure the environmental quality of our country and strengthen environmental protection.

"For decades, shipping containers loaded with U.S. waste have been shipped to China** for use. It's a US$5 billion (about 32.7 billion yuan) business a year, but now it is at risk of decline. CNN published an article on September 11 with a headline that read:

China to the United States: Please stop sending us garbage". In response to China's decision to improve the environment and protect people's health, the U.S. side believes that it "threatens" U.S. exports, and the U.S. Scrap Metal Industry Association declared that it will "fight" against China's ban.

**Refers to a document submitted by China's Ministry of Environmental Protection to the World Organization (WTO) on July 18: it requires urgent adjustment of the list of imported solid waste, and intends to ban the import of 24 kinds of solid waste in four categories by the end of 2017, including domestic waste plastics, vanadium slag, unsorted waste paper and waste textile raw materials and other highly polluting solid waste. Most of this waste comes from the United States.

According to the Scrap Metal Industry Association (ISRI), China imported $5.6 billion worth of scrap metal products, $1.9 billion worth of waste paper (13.2 million tons) and $1.42 million of plastic scrap (1.42 million tons) from the United States in 2016. The huge export volume has given rise to a huge industrial chain, and Robert Weiner, chairman of ISRI, said that 10,000 jobs in the United States depend on U.S. waste exports to China.

Such an industry is in jeopardy with China's announcement of a ban that will take effect in September. According to WTO data, the United States and Japan are the main countries in China that waste plastic and waste paper. According to CNN, waste accounts for the sixth largest U.S. export to China.

ISRI estimates that about one in five ** were "threatened" this time. China's decision has left American companies almost no time to prepare, and the U.S. China-related industry is nervous.

"The ban has begun to have an impact on the U.S.-China, with Chinese buyers cancelling orders and not placing new orders, and some people don't even pick up containers at the port," Adler reportedly said. ”

China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) wrote in a WTO document explaining the reason for the ban: "A large amount of highly polluting garbage and hazardous waste were found mixed with solid waste, which seriously polluted China's environment." In order to protect China's environment and the health of the people, we must urgently adjust the list of imported solid wastes and prohibit the import of highly polluting solid waste.

The reporter found that the solid waste that China banned from importing is fundamentally different from the solid waste allowed to be imported by the state, the former is low-value and heavily polluting, and the latter is a renewable resource that can be used as a raw material. In the future, the focus of China's solid waste imports will shift from low-value, heavily polluting waste plastics and waste paper to high-value, low-pollution scrap metals, and at the same time, it will also improve the utilization of domestic solid waste to protect the ecological environment and people's health.

Still, ISRI said it would fight China's ban, saying "China has an environmental crisis to deal with and needs to act." But we don't agree to impose a ban. That's not the way to go."

No matter what they do, some of them maliciously hide privately, confuse the public and send pollutants that cannot be used, with sinister intentions. Fuck it, just don't take it.
