A few days ago, philippine president Duteerte is warned, if Canada is absent,the carry back inside deadline goes to Philippine rubbish from Canadian carry 6 years ago, he will to Canadian declare war. This one news lets " foreign rubbish " the central point that makes world public opinion again.
Southeast Asia gets " foreign rubbish " worry
Philippine with the rubbish lawsuit between Canada, it is to come from beautiful Europe actually of the developed country " foreign rubbish " another of the whole world that it is disaster paradigmatic. Announce to reject to continue to import from China of the year before last year " foreign rubbish " later, the developed country is not to seek reclaim effectively the method that use, try to reach their carry other place however, fall victim of southeast Asia country is especially deep.
2017, china puts forward to be aimed at litter of 4 kinds of big in international trade 24 kinds of solid (common says " foreign rubbish " ) import ban, blow Chinese nick foreign rubbish is relevant the bugle of the problem.
This one ban begins to carry out from 2018, subsequently China upgraded again ban, announce to urge the ban that 2018 the bottom approves each 16 kinds of foreign rubbish to import with the cent end 2019, what rubbish of progressively solid silver dollar imports is comprehensive prohibit.
Short-term in light of, foreign rubbish ban of China exported a country to create constant pressure to rubbish really, let these rubbish produce a country to think, how be just the direction that solves rubbish problem after all.
But, backside of global rubbish commerce has economic interest drive, after China closes an entrance door to foreign rubbish, the exporter of foreign rubbish also intensifies searching replace destination. The southeast Asia area that has economic feasibility became this one target, replace China quickly to become the destination that foreign rubbish imports thereby.
In the meantime, as a result of element of ground predestined relationship, a few foreign countries that ran in China in the past reclaim processing company, also lay the view southeast Asia. These reclaiming processing company is walked out of, become in place use foreign rubbish to produce renewable resources, supply renewable resources the one annulus in the new-style industry chain of the Chinese enterprise with driving demand again.
In order to abandon plastic in light of topic of this one heat, the basis arrived in January 2018 the U.N. trade data October, the data after the useless plastic rubbish of the developed country that heads with the United States, England, Japan, Canada, Australia and Italy exports a circumstance to implement a ban in China is exemple (following graphs) , can see, exit gross is in after 3-5 month had a height 2018, begin to present a downtrend from May 2018.
Overall downtrend or report go out, foreign rubbish ban of China produced certain result really.
But character of as above place, although China has begun to undertake be limitatived strictly to foreign rubbish, foreign rubbish exports a country to still have the export volume of certain level, more or less do this show the malpractice of single nation measure in global trade system.
After this implements a ban from China, the southeast Asia country such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand becomes foreign rubbish to import big country in succession, be imported by foreign rubbish even weigh brings about haven to explode canopy can understand just a little.
And the country such as Malaysia last year second half of the year begins to control foreign rubbish import in succession, drop what drove rubbish to export a country to export gross again further.
With the United States data of useless 2018 plastic export is exemple, next graphs can see, regard main 2018 entrance as the country, the southeast Asia country such as Malaysia, Thailand begins occurrence import volume to drop point-blank from inside 2018. These countries import control to be strengthened in succession to foreign rubbish, cause powerful blow to commerce of foreign rubbish whole world.
The United States abandoned plastic export data 2018.
Norwegian mode whether solve " foreign rubbish " difficult problem
Here, can mention another name -- Norwegian draft resolution, this is Norway is aimed at " Basel convention " (" move of cross the boundary illegally of control risk waste reachs his to deal with Basel convention " ) a correction draft resolution. Draft resolution suggests to be in Basel convention accessory 2 (need namely " special consideration " litter) in increase " plastic rubbish " a kind.
Alleged " special consideration " , include to ask rubbish exports what the country informs beforehand and ask for so that import a country to agree. Delegate of a few countries expresses, if this draft resolution is passed, will become the important international mechanism of rubbish of ocean of keep within limits and plastic rubbish pollution.
Nevertheless, because the particular situation that each countries face differs and this one draft resolution aroused particular controversy. The country of approve of thinks, this will make international joint pledge and drive the whole world the settlement of plastic rubbish problem; On the other hand, different sound fears this one draft resolution will make be abandoned benignly plastic reclaim the difficulty of recycle rises, go against the benign development of this group course of study, harm an environment then.
Substantially, no matter be the ban of the national one-sided such as China, Malaysia, still be Basel convention cannot appropriate ground solves rubbish problem.
From short-term look, OK and rapid keep within limits exports the ban of individual country exit behavior of the country, but from the point of global commerce, can be faced with again " press calabash removed gourd ladle " awkward. International convention although limits large force is powerful, but country of exit of certain foreign rubbish is not the autograph makes an appointment with a country, convention is not again mandatory, add hard to avoid to exist " one knife is cut " the abuse that cause, cannot expect its become the potion miraculous cure that solves rubbish problem.
Anyhow, move of developed country cross the boundary illegally, exit " foreign rubbish " , it is the practice of a kind of typical use one's neighbor's field as a drain shift one's troubles onto others, can not solve rubbish problem substantially. The developed country solves rubbish problem, still want the train of thought that fountainhead administers, go through legal laws and regulations to guide zoology to design, but of durative development target fulfil, through economic feasibility the analysis lets the market pull move transition, the processing mode that participates in with all possible means through changing administrative pattern to turn into management, will form the resultant force that urges rubbish problem to solve.
