Cambodia will send back 1,600 tonnes of plastic waste found in shipping containers to the US and Canada, as Southeast Asian countries revolt against an onslaught of rubbish shipments.
China's decision to banned foreign plastic waste imports last year threw global recycling into chaos, leaving developed nations struggling to find countries to send their trash.
Environment ministry spokesman Neth Pheaktra said, the rubbish was found on 16 of July 2019 in scores of shipping containers at the port town of Sihanoukville and will be sent back to its original location.
