South Korea's Seoul and its surrounding areas have recently been caught in a 'junk mess.' According to Yonhap News, South Korea’s president, Wen Han, stated in a state conference in Cheongwada on the 10th that some of the apartments’ plastic bags and beverage bottles could not be recycled in time last week. Recycling caused confusion and inconvenience caused him apologetics.
Wen said that the garbage collection work is mainly undertaken by local self-government organizations. Fortunately, the central government did not stand by and watched, but instead published a contingency plan within a short period of time after consultation with the local and refuse removal companies. But he also said that The central government's response before the chaos was inadequate.
Wen Zaiyu said that China announced in July last year that it would completely stop importing foreign waste plastics and other 'foreign wastes' from January this year, but the relevant departments did not make preparations for this in advance. We hope that relevant departments will reflect on them and formulate waste recycling and utilization. The fundamental countermeasures. South Korea's per capita plastic consumption ranks first in the world, but its awareness of waste disposal problems is clearly insufficient, and its countermeasures are not sufficient. We hope to take this opportunity to comprehensively rectify the domestic waste, in recycling, production, consumption, emissions, and screening. Re-use and other cycle cycles to fundamentally formulate mid- and long-term comprehensive improvement measures.
According to reports, after China stopped importing foreign garbage this year, most of the garbage in the 2 cities and cities of the Korean capital circle was cleared. The classification company declared that it would no longer be able to recycle PET plastic bottles and white polystyrene lunch boxes on the ground of unprofitable profit. Caused the accumulation of rubbish and the contradiction between the community property and the residents. The Korean Ministry of Environment has reached an agreement with the 48 garbage collection and transportation companies in the metropolitan area to recover the corresponding rubbish as usual, and will launch measures to stabilize the market for recyclable rubbish.
