The book first describes the history of the plastic waste trade, from toxic disasters in the 1970s and 1980s through the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal in 1989 through China’s 2018 implementation of a “National Sword” policy that effectively banned importation of plastic waste. From there, the authors explore both the legal trade in plastic waste and the underground illegal trade in waste, arguing that both lead to devastating impacts on ecosystems, workers, and communities in receiving countries and highlighting how countries that receive waste are often less equipped to process it than the countries that export waste. The last section of the book presents cases from countrieson the receiving end of the plastic waste trade, highlighting inherent problems from sociological and environmental justice perspectives. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Waste colonialism; Plastic waste trade; Environmental injustice; Plastic pollution; Waste crime | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-51358-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-51360-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-51358-9 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
