> Now we mostly fixed it

Only in developed countries. The age of a typical car in my region is over 15 years. Basically, most of what you bought in 2005-2010, drove for a decade or more, and then sold for scrap eventually ends up in countries like mine. Moreover, most people take catalytic converters off their cars and sell them for $80-100 for platinum recycling.

I think most "developing" countries have the same problem. So the world at large hasn't really solved it and won't solve it any time soon.




None of my business but I’d love to know why your English is so good. Mind saying what region or country you live in?
