Plastic Waste - Where Does It All Go?
9/6/2020 at 9:00 AM
This question has been on my mind for some time now, but as recent international expose's bring it back to the forefront, it makes me wonder . . . what happens to much of the plastic scrap we all load into the blue bins?

I know that most people have never considered this. But if we like fiscal accountability, are our plastics (which we are presumably paying to be recycled) actually GETTING recycled (even though that is a loose term for plastic. But this is also a different thread lol), or are we paying for our scraps to be dumped somewhere overseas?
Is such accountability of our plastic waste even possible?
