中国不再接收“洋垃圾”，英国人不知所措

Britain's recycling bosses last night warned they will struggle to cope after China imposed a ban imports of plastic waste.

Around half a million tonnes of plastic is currently shipped to China every year by councils and other organisations in the UK.

英国从事垃圾回收的老板警告，自从中国开始拒绝进口塑料垃圾后，他们不知道如何应对了

每年，英国有大约500万吨塑料（垃圾）被运往中国。

But yesterday China's government imposed a ban on 'foreign waste' as part of a drive to upgrade its industries.

然而，作为产业升级的一部分，中国昨天实施了“洋垃圾”禁令

The move has raised fears more waste could be dumped or stockpiled in the UK because of a lack of recycling and waste facilities to process it.

此举引发人们担忧，英国缺乏垃圾回收处理的设施，垃圾可能会堆在国内。

Officials said the government was examining the impact of the move and whether more waste could be recycled in the UK.

But the UK Recycling Association said it had no idea what the short term solution was.

英国官员表示，英国政服正在评估国内是否能回收处理更多的垃圾。

然而英国回收协会抱怨苦于找不到短期解决办法。
