Prior to 2018, China bought roughly two-thirds of North America’s recyclable materials, but as of Jan. 1, the country has imposed strict new standards for the quality of paper-based materials it will accept. China has reduced its acceptance of most recycled material to 1/10th of one percent of the tonnage it accepted in the past. The country has also said it will stop accepting plastic containers such as bottles and bags entirely.
