used to be shipped to SE asia to, until the countries decided to send it back, because they arnt dealing with the filth and waste anymore it was actually polluting those countries to the point its not very feasible. plastic is too expensive to be recycled in the end, its better ot just dump it somewhere.
That’s fair. It’s more than a little disgusting to imagine one country exporting its literal waste to an entirely separate group of people… Countries should have to manage their own trash. But there’s a lot that countries should have to do that will never be done, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Recycling used to be shipped to China. A couple of years ago China made that illegal.

They still export garbage, just not to China. To poorer countries now.
even some of the SE asian ones are refusing now.
