      Pyrolysis. Please research. It's widely used with plastics and also with used vehicle tyres. But pyrolysis is a very bad producer of greenhouse gases.. So many regulations need to be in place before its widely adapted.

This exported waste vastly surpasses the rate at which the country itself is producing waste. It gets sent there by big industry nations like the US, EU, etc. It gets send there to be "recycled" but the country doesn't have the capacity or technology to process the vast amount of trash. China banned trash imports, which has lead to other countries taking it's place. Not sure what you're talking about "missinformation".

    I was expecting the "misleading" bar chart in the video depicting the world's largest plastic contributors, but we have to take into account that most waste from the West get exported to the aforementioned countries in the chart. I mean, how does the USA, a developed country, produce six times less waste than a developing country with a third of its population? Additionally, the "contributions" from Southeast Asia are more likely to increase as China has implemented its Operation National Sword, which will limit plastic exports from the West.

    • @carlcaturday1790
      @carlcaturday1790 4 роки тому +2

      The chart doesn't show the plastic waste produced by a country, but rather the amount that goes into the oceans. That's why the USA ranks rather low. Only a small amount of plastics in the oceans originates from US coasts or rivers. However the plastic that originate from asian rivers might have been from the USA originally due to trade. So the underlying problem is the lack of legislation and technology to dispose of plastics (accumulated through trade and own production) in East Asia!
