The manufacturers of country C gobbled up the recycled metals, glass, paper, etc. in the need of raw material but corruption and environmental issues led the government to close the doors to the world’s scrap beginning in the country. Countries C and H bought more than fifty percent of the plastic waste in the first six months but in the last six months, they only took about ten percent. But country C was continuously accepting cardboard, plastic, glass, and metal scraps. But instead of plastic water bottles, the country wanted plastic pellets to make packaging, toys, and other goods. and, the recyclable scrap became the biggest export to country C.
