Serious question, how is the recycling I put in my blue bin ending up in the ocean?
It doesn't get recycled domestically so it's got to be shipped somewhere. Not too far to imagine some of it going overboard.
Also much of the “recycled” plastic isn’t recycled, but instead burned or dumped.
Sold off to the lowest bidder who then "handles the recycling" - aka dumps it on some landfill in a 3rd world country.
Only a percentage of everything you put in your recycling bin actually ends up being recycled, so the percentage that doesn't can end up god knows where.
