Myanmar is expected to soon begin exporting recycled plastic pellets to China under a new agreement, according to a Myanmar Times article. U Soe Min, acting chair of the Recycling Subcommittee, part of the Myanmar Plastic Entrepreneurs Association, said that arrangements are being made for the pellets to be exported abroad in the near future. Plastic pellets are raw materials that can be used to manufacture plastic products such as soda bottles, caps and food containers. The method can help keep plastics out of landfills. “We export [the pellets] to China now as a trial,” said Soe Min. “It has been only for two months. If they find out exports are desirable they will accept.”
