Quelle: Entertainment Media Group AG (Glomex)

What actually happens to our plastic waste after we have thrown it into the recycling garbage can? Plastic pollution is becoming an ever greater problem worldwide. But product manufacturers and the waste disposal industry continue to claim that they have a solution in recycling. In truth, our plastic waste is still burned or buried rather than recycled. This film shows how the oil, packaging and consumer goods industries perpetuate the recycling lie and continue to pollute without consequence.
