TOKYO -- Chinese-owned recycling companies in Japan have agreed to cooperate to tackle plastic waste by setting up an association in the wake of Beijing banning such imports to China, but the move has raised concerns in Tokyo that local companies could be priced out of the market.
Fifty recycling companies have come together to form the Asian Plastic Resource Recycling Promotion Association with the aim of collaborating in business and sharing information on Japanese government regulations and market conditions.
