On June 25, Malaysia has announced a ban on imports of U.S. plastic waste, a move that could have major implications for California. Malaysia’s waste guidelines announced last month state that the country will no longer accept plastic waste and hazardous waste from countries that have not ratified the Basel Convention. The United States is one of a handful of countries, including Fiji and Haiti, that have not signed the Basel Convention on International Waste Transfers, an international treaty aimed at reducing the international movement of hazardous and other wastes, due to the United States' failure to comply with the treaty.
