FILE IMAGE. Central Hong Kong, China. 22nd Aug, 2016. Trolleys of cardboard collected for cash recycling on the streets of Central, Hong Kong. Secretary for the Environment in Hong Kong, Mr Wong Kam-sing, announces the provision of locations to stockpile waste paper for one week. This followed the immediate ban on 24 types of recycleable items in China. They aim to stop foreign waste ending up in China by the end of the year. The immediacy of the ban means no alternatives are in place for Hong Kongs back log. Credit: Jayne Russell/Alamy Live News
