I'm still waiting for the data to come back on the environmental impact that masks are going to have. I've wasted more of these things over the past year than I would've ever wasted my whole life.
North America includes Central America, that's where most of it comes from.
Not garbage. We where shipping them all our “recyclable material”. All the plastic that the city collected in their green bins was shipped to China, they would process what they could, and the rest, who cares what happened to it.
Shipments ended a few years ago. The city of Calgary was storing all the plastic they collected hoping to find a buyer, but they ended up putting it in the landfill. They had stored something like 50 tractor trailers worth of compressed bails of plastic.
They don't dump all of it. Some get recycled and end up being in your kid's toys.
That's exactly what happened.
