Waste plastic treatment
Current state of waste plastic treatment
In December 2017, China banned waste plastic imports
Japan has exported 1 to 1.5 million tons of waste plastic to China every year.
Owing to the import ban imposed by China, there is nowhere for Japan’s waste plastic to go.
There is a crisis in domestic recycling, incineration, and landfill treatment.

If this situation continues, waste plastic will be everywhere without treatment, and waste disposal will no longer be taken for granted.
