On 18th July the Office of the State Council announced a total ban on the import of “foreign garbage” that poses a serious environmental hazard and has caused strong public complaints. This policy, Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Issuing the implementation Plan for Prohibiting the Entry of Foreign Waste and Promoting the Reform of the Solid Waste Import Management System (Guobanfa [2017] No. 70) , includes a ban on hazardous waste, medical waste, electronic waste, and domestic waste. Since 2006 the Chinese government has imposed a “catalogue of Solid Wastes Prohibited from Import”, which included “black mass” as a prohibited import. This ban further strengthens the restrictions on waste imports from outside of China.
