China scrap restrictions were already in the export book. In March 2020 Australian governments agreed that the export of waste glass, plastic, tyres, and paper be regulated by the Australian Government.

A China trade stop removes a kraft-scrap buyer that is already 0.12 percent of export value. Indonesia is 62.3 percent of that value. Domestic generation of 79.0 million tonnes does not clear through China.

Exported waste paper and cardboard must not exceed 5 percent total contamination by weight.
