Description
: Korea is trying to ban the import of waste plastic (PET/PE/PP/PS) to promote domestic waste recycling. Due to the drop in oil prices and the impact of Corona 19, as the amount of accumulated waste plastics in Korea increases and the instability of the recycling market increases, we intend to limit the import of waste plastics of some materials with a large amount of accumulated wastes in order to promote the recycling of waste plastics in Korea.Objectives
