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 countries on the receiving end of the plastic waste trade, highlighting inherent problems from sociological and environmental justice perspectives. . 0aPollution. 0aRefuse and refuse disposal.965958 0aSocial justice.958936 0aEnvironmental health.962224 0aHuman geography.95850614aPollution.24aWaste Management/Waste Technology.96596024aSocial Justice.95893624aEnvironmental Health.96222424aHuman Geography.9585061 aGündoğdu, Sedat.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9720952 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303151357208iPrinted edition:z978303151359608iPrinted edition:z978303151360240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-51358-9  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SXEE  c57997d57997
