Dear Sir
I came across your paper. First of all, congratulations on your amazing research article. Loved it! Also, I am very interested to know, why is the waste that is collected in the Netherland, shipped to Asia? is it for composting purposes or recycling of it?
Dear Sir
Thank you very much for such a well-justified answer.
@ Shahida, it made economic sense to ship the plastic to Asia, because shipping companies that transport China's manufactured goods end up with thousands of empty shipping containers to carry back. Many wealthy countries send their recyclable waste overseas because it's cheap, helps meet recycling targets and reduces domestic landfill. For developing countries taking in the rubbish, it's a valuable source of income.
Dear Sir
Thank you very much for such a well-justified answer.
