So, I am interested, what do you guys here think about the fire in Brijest?
A plastics recycling factory in Brijest caught fire. And it is considered to be an ecological catastrophy because of all the air pollution that fire has caused. In addition to causing life-threatening injuries to one firefighter.
Media is talking a lot about how regulations weren't followed by the factory. Among other things, regulations say that the piles of plastics must be at most 3 meters tall, whereas, in the backyard of that factory, they were 20 meters tall. Some even speculate that fire is intentional.
However, I think this ecological catastrophy arguably wouldn't have happened if only there were no government policies making recycling plastics profitable. In a free market, recycling plastics wouldn't be profitable, so that fire wouldn't have happened.
