VTV.vn - According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, China's plastic scraps ban is the leading cause of massive imports of disposed plastics into many Asian countries, including Vietnam.

In Thailand, the amount of scrap imports has doubled year on year, especially from the UK, reaching 5,000 tonnes. An article on the Science Advances magazine stated that Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia are considering the same ban as China to solve the waste crisis.
