Since the development of the first cities, the waste produced by humans is deposited in the environment and the main ecosystem affected is the marine environment. Marine pollution has been growing steadily as countries have not invested in their solid waste management systems or in the creation of legislation that would hinder their production. To the detriment of such actions, it was preferred to encourage the market of import and export of plastic waste, causing even more environmental damage, because the countries that received the waste had no infrastructure to deal with their disposal. In 2018, China, the main importing country of plastic waste, decided to ban this type of imports in its territory, generating several economic and legal impacts on the planet. This paper aims to analyze and relate this chinese decision with the abrupt and immediate change of the strategy of the European Union to deal with the plastic waste produced in its territory, comparing the regional documents elaborated over the years and exposing the possible consequences of this change.
