Dr Dominic Hogg on China Recycling Crisis

Eunomia Chairman Dr Dominic Hogg was interviewed on BBC World about China’s move to restrict imports of recycling. The restrictions are a wake up call for the recycling industry.  While they will cause some short term pain, they also could provide an incentive to move to a system that is more sustainable.  This will mean designing products and packaging so they can be reclaimed more easily, and putting in place better systems for collecting and sorting material so it is clean and has value.
