[China Packaging News] "in the next 10 years, a huge tide of plastic waste will sweep the world". According to media reports such as the Washington Post, researchers at the University of Georgia in the United States believe that after China stops importing foreign waste, it is expected that 111 million tons of plastic waste will be buried or recycled in the world by 2030

according to the report, more than 85% of the world's plastic waste comes from rich countries. For a long time, the United States, Japan, Germany and other rich countries have been transporting recyclable plastic waste to China for disposal. The study found that since 1992, China has imported 106 million tons of bottles and cans, plastic bags, packaging paper and other waste, accounting for about 45% of the total global waste in the past 26 years. At the same time, 72% of the global plastic waste flows to China. After China banned the import of foreign garbage from January 2018, these wastes will "sweep the world"

the report believes that with China's ban on foreign garbage coming into effect, rich countries may transfer garbage to other developing countries until it passes the conditioning. "Although the scale is not as large as that of China, India, Vietnam and Malaysia have imported more plastic waste". Vietnam recently suspended imports because ships carrying plastic waste blocked the circulation of ports. However, experts warned that these countries themselves lack facilities to deal with their own garbage, and importing foreign garbage will only further deteriorate the quality of life of local people

experts from the University of Georgia who participated in the study also said that according to past data, only 9% of plastic waste in the world is recycled, and the rest falls into landfills or nature. Research shows that since 1950, humans have produced 8.3 billion to 9 billion tons of plastic, which is equivalent to more than four times the volume of Mount Everest. Plastic production is almost unregulated. The global annual output of plastic products has soared from about 2million tons in the early 1950s to 322 million tons in 2015, which is far more than the effective processing capacity, and it is expected that there will be more supply and demand
