Plastic waste in seas/oceans

[tommyardin]

Just an excuse in this country to collect extra taxes. Little snip it I heard or read this week 1 council admitted there is no market any more for recyclable plastics even chine doesn't want it and they had to resort to burning it but it helped to generate energy. So from that is it safe to assume most of the recyclable plastic we put in our recycling bins finishes up in land fill????????? :eek

Certainly a percentage of it goes into land fill but what that percentage is no one is likely to say.

It is like cardboard and other packaging if it is dirty or greasy it goes to land fill sites, it would cost more to salvage it than the material value.

Who you going to believe? Some say recycle other say not.

We as the older generation may never know, but our kids and grandchildren will certainly have to pick up the tab, whether that is a financial tab or having to live in a polluted atmosphere with depleted plastic ridden seas.
