Where Does All Your Recycling Really Go?
Description
Ever wonder what actually happens to all the plastic you dutifully toss in the recycling bin? Kit Chellel, an investigative reporter for Bloomberg, set out to answer that very question. And what he found out is…well we’re not gonna give it away. Then, Wes picks up with reporter Matthew Campbell, who went to see for himself where a lot of that plastic piles (and piles and piles) up.
This episode also features Judith Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, who explains why it’s so hard to recycle this stuff.
