THE RECYCLING MYTH

After separating waste for decades, the question emerges: What really happens to our plastic waste? This film shows why the plastic waste crisis has become an international scandal where the biggest brands have declared recycling to be the solution, but one that does not deliver what it promises. Only a small percentage is actually recycled and a much larger proportion of disposable packaging is incinerated or ends up in landfill. A harrowing film about the recycling fairytale that the oil, packaging and consumer goods industries tell us to keep our eyes closed.
