BEIJING/SHANGHAI - China aims to cut solid waste imports to zero by next year as it looks to reduce pollution and encourage recyclers to treat soaring volumes of domestic trash, a senior environment ministry official said on Thursday.
Beijing began restricting deliveries last year, while customs authorities have launched a series of crackdowns on waste smuggling, leading to hundreds of arrests. In December, Beijing also vowed to ban imports of more varieties of scrap steel, copper and aluminum starting from July, and the veto will be extended to products such as scrap stainless steel and titanium at the end of this year.
