According to Bernama (Malaysia):
China will build a huge centre to recycle wastes from Russia and North Korea, in a city that borders the two countries, local authorities said Wednesday.
The centre is expected to recycle nearly three million tonnes of scrap machines, cables, appliances, vehicles, mobile phones, batteries, plastics and other wastes each year, Xinhua reported.
Northeast China’s Jilin Province has approved the recycling centre in Hunchun City. It will cover 135 hectares of land and the facility’s combined floor space will top 500,000 square meters, an official with the publicity department of Hunchun City Government said.
The project is expected to create nearly 10,000 jobs, and its annual output value will reach 15 billion yuan (US$2.21 billion) after it becomes operational, said the spokesman.
However, the spokesman did not elaborate further on the details regarding construction of the centre.
