Well put it this way, a mate told me to drop in at his uncles place to pick up some fruit, when the wife and I were doing a road trip.
His uncle only exported his fruit, well long story short, we were meant to take it back home, but ate it all on the way, absolutely unbelievably tasty.

From my perspective I think that average citizen wouldn't have a clue where the produce they buy comes from.
It just magically appears on the supermarket shelves, doesn't it??

will be some fallout from this , even if the receivers sell it for the proverbial dollar

but is there opportunity in this ?
CWY is a fair way above my target price

however some other ASX listed stocks might be tempted ( to buy it , especially if there are government incentives , and keep the recycling narrative intact )

It's like chopping off your nose despite your face, where is most of the plastic going to go now?

Most likely into the ocean or to some poor nation that stores it like the size of a mountain.
