Gove Admits To Having No Idea About Impact Of China Recycling Ban

Environment Secretary Michael Gove (pictured) has admitted to the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) that he has no knowledge of the effects that the China situation will bring to the UK recycling sector.
Labour MP Anne McMorrin asked the Environment Secretary about the impact of the China ban on the UK recycling industry.
Michael Gove responded: “I don’t know what impact it will have… And to be honest, I haven’t given it sufficient thought.”
China announced this year that it will put in place tighter waste import controls from the start of 2018; completely banning the import of mixed, unsorted paper and certain other materials, while also restricting the import of recycled materials to a maximum contamination level of 0.3%.
The problem of capacity and how the UK will handle the waste following the China ban was also questioned by MPs.
