FYI, there is a somewhat related growing
and worrisome problem in Latin America and the Caribbean with existing
electrical and electronic operating equipment – transformers, pumping
stations, phone lines, power cables, even traffic lights – being stolen
and stripped for their metals, and then being shipped off to China masquerading
as legitimate scrap exports “for recycling.”

Markets
With all the uproar over Chinese product defects lately (pet food,
toothpaste, jewelry, etc.) and quality concerns, I was wondering if anyone is
seeing motion toward keeping recycling local where materials are sent overseas
(mainly an issue for the West Coast) -- either on a local/state policy level,
or recycler operations level.
