Meeting tough Chinese materials targets requires a 'quality first' mantra - Environment Journal
It said at the time that it would only allow 0.3% non-target contamination, or out-throw, in every load of recyclable material from 31 December 2017. This was a significant reduction on the 1.5% that was originally permitted.

This will be implemented from 1 March 2018.

Will we ever be able to go entirely laptop free?
