Recycling plant to help clear Hebei air

A major recycling plant is to be built in Hebei province.

The base, in Dingzhou, will mainly collect plastic waste from other cities in the province, as well as Beijing and Tianjin.

For the past 10 years, Dingzhou has collected more than 1 million metric tons of plastic waste each year, over 60 percent of which was from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, according to Yin Ruotian, a government official in Dingzhou.
