The article is really good if you can get by the title...its the rich countries sending there plastic to poor countries so they can say we recycle

Got to love the greens ...send our plastic to Asia...

Should be burned or shredded and put in landfills...

It is now in the Ocean because we shipped it there..

Any number of thermal depolymerization companies can turn (at a reasonable rate of return) feed stocks, tires, cellulose, offal, and especially plastics, into petroleum fuel (Farm diesel mostly). The byproducts are water and dry minerals. There is smoke and measures are in place to minimize outflow from there. BP is mobbed up with a company that does this, and Changing World Technologies was early on able to provide the service.

Better to get more use out of a product than shove it into yet another, never to be sufficiently cursed, government program.

When Pennsylvania mandated recycling of old electronics lots of people jumped to get into the business.

Within two years there was virtually no place left to take your old televisions and computers, because they quickly found that the promised profits from recycling materials was not there.

So you can’t put your TV out for the trash and you can’t find a place to recycle it. The predictable result being that people chuck them into rivers and leave them on the porches of vacant homes. Liberalism generating the exact opposite of its stated intent.

Like any other state law here I am sure it was passed with the promise of kickbacks that never materialized.
