In 2022, the value of plastic waste exported from Spain amounted to some 86.5 million U.S. dollars, an increase of nearly 50 percent in comparison to the previous year. This was the highest figure reported by the Mediterranean country since 2017.
In 2018, China issued a ban on the import of foreign plastic waste, which led to a reduction in global plastic waste exports.
