Still reeling from the loss of foreign markets, waste recyclers are facing new perils due to coronavirus and the falling price for new plastics

When the MV Bavaria cargo ship chugged out of a Philippine port one morning last month carrying 69 containers of rotted Canadian garbage, it didn’t just end a messy diplomatic spat between the two countries.

This will further limit U.S. ability to export mixed plastic, especially since it is one of the few countries to not have ratified the treaty. “I was really nervous,” said Hampel. “I made a lot of ‘closed’ signs, because I just didn’t think this thing was going to go right.” Before it was clear that surfaces were less likely to carry the virus, thousands of tons of recyclables were put into landfills out of fear that they might be infectious and expose staff.
