China's banning of many polluting waste products is based on its current war on pollution, moving the economy and country up the supply chain and has absolutely nothing to do with tariffs. Nor Russians.
China no longer wants to be the world's dump and solution for the world's wastes.
They've also gotten quite picky on recyclables which is driving changes in the current recycling business model and driving up recycling costs locally.
Also nothing to do with tariffs, or Russians.
The scrap yards around here have been made the point of enforcement for all manner of stolen materials, doesn't matter what they are made of. They can no longer receive stolen goods and not be penalized.No yard is questioning where that scrap oven came from but they will refuse to accept a government owned manhole cover.
