The United States wants to stop China's ban on repealing 32%! American netizens expressed their contempt for China
After China enacted a ban on the import of foreign waste, British refuse piled up. China refuses to collect foreign garbage and dumped garbage into the US recycling station.... In the international community, some media also stated that the Chinese “foreign garbage” ban has caused serious environmental pollution in other countries. However, Most visionary and introspective media people understand and appreciate China’s actions in the short term. At the same time, European and American netizens and international green organizations are facing this issue. The German “Southern German” reported that China’s past As a recipient of waste plastics, it is a heartfelt gratitude; Green and Equity Environmental believes that China's ban has caused concern for waste exporters, prompting these countries to adopt more sustainable methods and to produce less waste.
In July 2017, China announced that it would ban the import of 24 categories of wastes in four categories beginning on January 1, 2018, including waste plastics, paper, waste slag, and textiles. The import ban will begin on January 1, 2018. After scrap, Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany and other countries have already felt the impact of China's new laws.
China's ban on the implementation of the ban, the European waste recycling system chaotic; China banned 'foreign garbage' Spain headache, saying that the processing capacity of other countries is difficult to compare with China; the United States media: banned orders such as a night to close the valve, the impact of global waste dealers ...... These messages are updated every day.
However, there is also information indicating that the global solid waste recycling system is gradually being upgraded. Australia's Victoria or the implementation of the plastic bag ban will increase consumer spending; the EU intends to substantially reduce the use of plastics to protect the environment; the Panamanian government promulgated the 'forbidden plastic'; Sweden prohibits the use of plastic particles in some cosmetics; the United Kingdom intends to increase the pace of bans, taxing disposable plastic products, etc.
These countries are gradually advancing, accelerating the construction of solid waste recycling systems, and the European Parliament members warned: Do not 'underestimate' the value of plastics. The Netherlands began recycling plastic waste to make desks; the United States developed recycling of carbon fiber paving materials; Bristol University researchers convert plastic contamination into cleaners; Pskov State will build a new waste plastics reprocessing plant; British companies crowdfund 4.2 million euros for plastic recycling.
High-polluted garbage and hazardous wastes pose great hidden dangers to China's eco-environmental safety and people's health. Restricting and prohibiting the import of solid wastes is a major measure proposed by China for the environment and people's livelihood. It is China's thorough implementation of new development concepts and efforts to improve the ecological environment. The necessary means and process of quality are the rights enjoyed by the Chinese government. It is also one of the manifestations of our country's responsibility to the international community.
Combining action initiatives across the world, we can see that China's ban will not only significantly increase China's domestic solid waste enterprises' ability to dispose of solid waste in China, but also further solve China's environmental pollution problems while also forcing the development of global solid waste recycling industry and related technological advances. , contributes to global ecological security.
China is gradually improving its domestic environmental problems, and is also contributing its own “Mandatory Strength” for global environmental governance. It is reported that the Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago conducted a survey report on China’s environmental governance, 'China’s first fight against pollution. Winning?” The report gave a definite answer. According to data from the China National Environmental Monitoring Center, from 2013 to 2017, it took only four years for China to allow the concentration of urban fine particulates (PM2.5). On average, the number dropped by 32%. The US screen name stated that this was an 'amazing success' and was a great victory. Although China still has a long way to go, it is advancing with the 'Blue Sky Defending Three Years War Plan'. And implementation, our country will always go down and win in this battle of environmental protection.
