World Recycling Convention Tackles Global Trade

摘要

Despite the multiple challenges engulfing the recycling industry, there are also many reasons to be optimistic about its prospects.

Session moderator Michael Lion of Everwell Resources Ltd. pointed to the destabilizing impact of China's new scrap import controls, the continuing uncertainty surrounding Brexit, worrying developments in Turkey and damaging trade disputes. And yet the resulting volatility can offer the trader "more opportunities than in a level-playing-field market," he insisted.
