中國不收廢棄物 全球資源回收陷混亂

中國「洋垃圾」禁令震盪全球資源回收系統，讓全球國家陷入混亂，從吞沒東南亞小社區的骯髒包裝，到美澳等國工廠堆積如山的垃圾，各地急忙尋找能把垃圾與廢棄物能送走的地方。

中國不收廢棄物 ， 全球資源回收陷入混亂。（示意圖）

法新社報導，中國多年來回收全球大部分廢棄塑膠，並將多數垃圾處理成製造商能再利用的較高品質材料。但自去年開始，為保護當地環境及空氣品質，中國幾乎向所有「洋垃圾」回收物關閉大門。

許多已開發國家集中回收垃圾因而艱困地尋找能送去處理的新場所。這些廢棄塑膠大量來到中國回收商大舉轉移陣地的東南亞。

馬來西亞因有大群華裔少數族群，成中國回收商遷移首選地點。官方數據顯示，大馬去年進口87萬噸的塑膠垃圾，是2016年的3倍，這也讓離吉隆坡不遠的小鎮仁嘉隆（Jenjarom），突然大量出現日夜排出毒煙的塑膠處理工廠。

垃圾處理廢氣讓居民開始抗議，起初不見成效，但持續施壓讓政府最終採取行動。當局開始關閉仁嘉隆非法工廠，並宣布暫時凍��全國塑膠進口許可。

即使約33%工廠關閉，不過倡議人士認為，許多回收廠是安靜地移往國內其他地區。仁嘉隆居民則表示，空氣品質雖有改善，但仍留下部分塑膠垃圾。

而歐美澳等地則面臨國內垃圾回收商更高昂的處理費用，因此在某些案例中，處理單位因垃圾堆積速度過快，只好採用送至掩埋場等方式解決。

澳洲廢棄物管理與資源回收協會（WMRRA）會長藍姆（Garth Lamb）表示：「12個月了，我們仍感覺到影響，但還沒找到解決方法。」

有些人快更快地適應新局勢，如澳洲南部阿得雷德（Adelaide）當局營運的部分回收中心。

這些回收中心以往幾乎將所有垃圾送到中國，但現在有高達8成由當地公司處理，其餘大多海運至印度。北阿得雷德垃圾處理局（NAWMA）執行長（Adam Faulkner）說：「我們發現透過支持當地製造商，能回到中國禁令前的回收價格。」

根據綠色和平組織（Greenpeace）及全球焚化爐替代方案聯盟（GAIA）新報告的數據，中國塑膠垃圾進口量從2016年每月60萬噸跌至去年每月3萬噸。

根據綠色和平組織報告，最早因中國禁令首當其衝的馬來西亞、泰國及越南東南亞國家，紛紛採取措施限制塑膠進口，但垃圾只單單在沒有限制下被送往其他國家，如印尼及土耳其。

在估計僅有9%生產出的塑膠被回收的情況下，綠色和平組織倡議人士連佩怡（Kate Lin）表示，對塑膠垃圾汙染的唯一長期解方是企業製造少、消費者用得少。

Today marks day 636 since I've ridden Merlin (my BMW) and been on a racetrack. My last race was Sept 8, 2019 with WMRRA at Pacific Raceway which was also my #LorenzoComeback weekend amd breaking my thumb and we all remember how that race weekend went with being punted off track on the last corner/last lap. See yt video "S1000RR vs. CBR1000RR MONEY RACE CRASH @PacificRaceways #LorenzoComeback Pt.11" How many race weekends before I'm back to podium contention? #MarquezComeback #underdog #superbikewanderer. Also, will my new found love of trail riding as #dirtbikesurvivorman help my superbike skills? https://www.instagram.com/p/CPv8YHVnM8o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rain Racer

It’s probably no surprise that it rains a lot in the Seattle area (thanks twilight) but can you imagine racing in it? … ON A MOTORCYCLE? Queue the crazies of WMRRA: Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association. This past Memorial Day weekend, die hard motorcycle lovers (and their girlfriends) toughed none stop pouring rain to witness the magic that is sport bike racing.

I feel that motorsports in general in the US is overshadowed by a lot, let alone club racing. These boarder line insane men and women (yes, women) mount their saddles to complete twisting tracks with at least 10 turns at 180 plus miles per hour! For what? Two words: Bragging rights. Yes, money can be earned and contingencies paid for top placers, but it is an expensive enough hobby where even the top plate holders complete the season (dare I say an entire career) in a deficit.

A typical weekend consists of practices the first half of the day followed by races broken up into classes that separate big engine bikes from little engines, vintage bikes, even sidecars and scooters! Camping, pit parties, shenanigans, whiskey and beer are squeezed somewhere in between. On long weekends, a real treat our race association has are endurance races ranging from two to six hours!

This picture shows snippets of what racing is like in the Pacific North West. Yes, that is intense rain hitting the asphalt not a pond; Yes, that is a muddy motorcycle from a crash (all is okay); And yes, that is beer in those Solo cups among pit parties. One picture is of our race team completing the originally scheduled 6 hour endurance race that was cut to 4 due to… well… rain.*Side note: feel free to message me if you are involved in club racing in another state, I would love to see what that’s about*.

 If you love motorcycles and want to surround yourself in moto-goodness (even if cars are your thing), promise me you’ll look into your local race clubs, they could always use the support. People are very welcoming, more so if you bring no ego and lots of beer. Fortunately, it doesn’t always rain and track riding is the by far the safest way to enjoy sport bikes in my opinion. None the less this one’s for you WMRRA racers. Craziness like this can only be one thing: love.
