China’s National Sword Policy And Its Impacts on Recycling

On September 30, 2018, at 6 p.m., Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2018 is Stewardship. In September, the Church welcomes Jordan Fengel, Executive Director of STAR (State of TX Alliance for Recycling).

The US has relied on China to process our mixed plastic and mixed paper recyclables for the last 20+ years. However, a recent policy change by the Chinese government in 2017, enacted in 2018, banning many recyclable materials from being imported, has created a conundrum in the recycling industry. With China set to eliminate all imports of recyclable materials by 2020, Jordan will discuss what STAR is doing to turn the tide.

Please register for this talk, and you will receive an invitation to the web meeting. For more information, visit eventbrite.com or contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.
