Australian Scientists May Have Discovered Solution to Our Plastic Recycling Problem
ABC AU | 11 19 2019 | Nadia Daly
When China announced in January 2018 that it would stop taking Australia’s recyclable waste it was a wake-up call for the industry.
It could not help but be.
Now Dr Humphreys sees the mountains of stockpiled plastic as a wasted resource —
Keen observer.
— one he says could be used instead as fuel or remade into new plastic.
Has this not been a topic of discussion since plastics were invented?
The Federal Government said it does offer incentives for the recycling industry in Australia.
“It’s not about grants, it’s not about the Government paying for something to be done,” Environment Minister Sussan Ley told 7.30.
Would you mind running the distinction between “incentives” and “paying for” by me once again?
An incentive is a promise that it will be payed for by someone else eventually.
Apparently the Chinese were the last to get the memo that absolutely everything from Australia is deadly, including their garbage.
