Infamously Polluted Town of Guiyu, China Much Cleaner Following Modernisation and Regulatory Efforts
The Chinese government has spent the past 5 years addressing personal and environmental health issues caused by the previously unregulated recycling industry in Guiyu, with measured success.
China to Ban Imports of 24 Types of Solid Waste
On 1 August, China registered two filings with the World Trade Organization signaling China’s intent on banning imports of 24 kinds of solid waste, effective 1 September. China imports a huge amount of solid waste, particularly from the United States; according to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), China imported $5.6 billion worth of scrap commodities from the United States in 2016. The filings cite “protection of human health or safety” and “protection of the environment” as its reasons for banning the 24 types of solid wastes.
