本月,中国正式启动洋垃圾入境新规,这一消息让英国废物回收业界不知所措。因为过去英国每年运往中国50万吨废料,现在终止,英国没有能力处理如此大量的废料。如何脱离危机?英国政府目前也没招。 Experts predict growing chaos in the United Kingdom as materials build up at recycling plants around Britain following China's global ban on importing millions of metric tons of plastic waste. 专家预计,中国禁止进口来自全球的数百万吨塑料垃圾之后,英国各地的处理厂将堆满垃圾,情况将越来越混乱。 Simon Ellin, chief executive of the UK Recycling Association, a group that represents more than 80 UK recycling organizations, has called for urgent action, saying his members are already seeing lower-grade plastics pile up. 英国回收协会董事长西蒙-埃林呼吁采取紧急行动。他表示,协会成员已经发现劣质垃圾越堆越多。该协会成员包括80多家英国垃圾回收机构。 |
