Solheim also noted complaints from some countries in the media.

"But I think they got it wrong."

He also said that in the past, for Europe, exporting waste to China was a relatively easy way to dispose of it.

So most countries are too lazy to think of a better solution.

But China's "foreign garbage" ban has forced them to think better.

Now some European leaders are beginning to think of new ways.

It is worth noting that "we should also avoid exporting these wastes to other poor countries, which themselves do not have a well-established waste disposal system."
