Operations At Recycling Facilities As China's Ban On Waste Products Causes Trash Pile-ups

A worker removes a tarp cover bales of compressed plastic waste on a truck at a Junyoung Industrial facility in Gimpo, South Korea, on Thursday, April 19, 2018. In a bid to curb its own rampant pollution, China has clamped down on the import of unsorted paper and plastics, with outdated industrial mills used to process foreign scrap into reusable raw materials closing down. The effects of the strict new standards on halting impurities in waste imports are now being felt worldwide. Photographer: Jean Chung/Bloomberg via Getty Images
