CZECH REPUBLIC CAUGHT UP IN PLASTIC WASTE DISPOSAL CRISIS IN EUROPE

From Radio Prague - China’s ban on plastic waste imports has already impacted most European states and the Czech Republic is no exception. 

"Plastic waste is ending up on waste dumps and an increasing amount of sorted plastic waste is being burnt in incineration plants together with mixed waste. China’s decision to ban plastic waste imports has had a nation-wide impact. Czechs who jumped on the sorted waste bandwagon late, have become European leaders in waste sorting –particularly in sorting plastics. Now there’s nowhere to put it".
