Same with plastic recycling, if it's packaged up and exported you get the tickbox. It's a great example of Goodheart's Law being applied, focusing on the local metric (reduced emissions in our neck of the woods! Look at us meeting the Paris agreement!) without solving or even exacerbating the underlying problem (steel production in countries with less carbon emission rules, added emissions due to shipping, and big ships use really shitty bunker fuel anyway)
