"Depuis que la Chine a arrêté d'importer des déchets plastique et papier en 2018, des centaines de villes des États-Unis n'ont plus les moyens de recycler."
Quand tu vois comment les Ricains consomment et polluent, c'est inquiétant. Les marches pour le climat n'ont pas fini d'user leurs semelles sur de l'asphalte non recyclé.

Il faut écouter l'épisode National Sword, du podcast 99% Invisible, qui parle de ce sujet.
C'est passionnant.
https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/national-sword/Where does your recycling go? In most places in the U.S., you throw it in a bin, and then it gets carted off to be sorted and cleaned at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). From there, much of it is shipped off to mills, where bales of paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic are pulped or melted into raw materials. Some of these mills are here in the U.S. And once upon a time, many of them were in China.
Since 2001, China was one of the biggest buyers of American recycling. That is, until last year, when China pulled a move that no one saw coming: they stopped buying.
Suddenly, a lot of materials that were getting recycled previously weren’t anymore. The lists of accepted materials are shrinking in some cities. In some places, certain types of plastic and paper and cardboard simply aren’t being collected anymore — they go to landfill or incineration, instead. Even those municipalities that are still collecting recycling are having a hard time finding places to sell it. Instead of making money by selling recyclable materials, they are losing money by paying storage companies to take it. And this isn’t just a problem in the United States — Europe, Australia and Canada have been impacted, too.
