Do P2P colleagues think the refusal of China to continue accepting our plastic for recycling etc & the UK & Europe having to find other methods of disposal might adversely effect any current borrowers?
Also, might it open up opportunities for investment??

Methinks the government will just burn it instead of shipping it to China. They can't refuse to take our air pollution!  I don't think it will affect P2P, but there may be opportunities in the equities market... |

Presently there are a number of uses for old plastic, re-use, road material, burning at very high temperatures (so not atmospheric poison apart from CO2), land fill and finally technology to convert back into diesel type fuels/raw plastic materials. (BTW modern burning systems mean that the air comes out cleaner than it went in). Presently a large number of waste burning units being installed across the country and have been for the last 5 years or so.
At the moment it is possible to invest via P2P in burning plants and diesel generating technologies.
Of further interest is bio-degradable plastic plants (NB France has recently changed all supermarkets to this type of bag, which originally the industry said could not be done, amazing what legislation can do....)

Recently I invested via P2P (Syndicate Room) in the company behind Plaxx which they hope will make more plastic economically recyclable contributing to the "circular economy".
