Right now, because there are so many variations of plastic waste generated in different parts of the country and different parts of the world, it is very important how we label the material, because in the past we were sending everything to the Far East and they were absorbing all of our waste, but that is not possible anymore. How we label our materials now, as per our designations, will also affect how we will interact with the international borders and how we can move the materials across borders.
