I'm glad that there's plastic recycling in Asia. Asian nations are the most numerous. So they should take care of high-quality recycling of plastic waste, which negatively affects the atmosphere. Thailand recycling plants are one of the most active in the world. I know that many Chinese and other Asian nations always wear face masks. This's not only because they're afraid of viruses. It's because of the frequent smog emissions in their cities. In one interesting blog, I often read impressive articles about Asian culture, behavioral characteristics, and environmental problems. I'm interested not only in Asian cuisine but also in other aspects of the culture.

Use a desktop, they have a longer life can be repaired and updated, and when finally recycled are much less toxic. Plus you get a much better screen and user experience, as a bonus.
