Affected by the ban in China, Southeast Asia or become the main force of waste plastics imports
According to the latest report from research consultancy PCI Wood Mackenzie, the secondary producing area in Southeast Asia may become the 'world leader' in the import of waste plastics.
The report, entitled 'China's Waste Import Ban 2017', said China will ban the import of waste by the end of this year and will see most PET scrap exporters looking for alternative products.
The report said: 'Some people think this is an opportunity to absorb and develop the domestic rPET market, while others are pessimistic about the amount of blended plastic that is constantly being added.'
According to Wood Mackenzie, the impact of the ban could make South East Asia a major force in importing waste plastics.
In the current situation, Southeast Asia is the first choice of recycled plastics companies, but with the development of local economy in Southeast Asia, environmental regulation will be gradually strengthened.
