Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to analyze the change of international recyclable trade and its background after 2010.
The characteristic of recyclable trade in the world after 2010 is that China, the world's largest recyclable importing country, reduced imports. In the background, the amount of recyclable resources accumulated in China has expanded, and the recycling system has been improved. In addition, in the year 2017, China announced that it will prohibit the recyclables import and strengthen the import control system of solid waste in the future. China's import restraint has a big influence on the recycling system of each country through the change of world's recycable trade.
