The solution to this is to ban the export of plastic waste, period. Let these rich countries like Germany, Japan, UK, and the US recycle their own plastic.
Even better than recycling: bans on single use plastics and the spurring of new businesses and ways of conducting business that are better for the water, air, and our health
More than that, in the US we need to restrict the movement of garbage. Places like New York City export their trash to poorer rural areas in order to avoid responsibility and cost for their own lifestyle. This needs to stop, the only way to get people to care about this is to impact them individually through legislation. If we could rely on people doing the right thing then criminal and civil laws wouldn't be needed. Since businesses and governments seem to behave in even more short-sighted and callous manners than individuals, they need to be bound to laws the same as people, eg regulations
Watching this after Netflix's "BUY NOW" movie/documentary is heartbreaking to see how we as consumers and these large corporations are killing the planet and ourselves slowly but surely.
Stop talking about recycling!!! Most plastic produced isn't recyclable at all. The only solution is to stop producing so much plastic. As long as we keep buying plastic stuff someone will continue selling. And the plastic mountain will keeps growing.

This also starts with you. Yes, you. The person reading this comment. If you can, avoid consuming plastic. Buy can soda instead of bottled (it tastes better anyway). Don’t get plastic grocery bags, etc. I know that it’s not going to be 100% avoidable as it’s so entrenched, but one less plastic piece you consume, it’s one less piece that won’t go into the environment.
Mexico should say no, sadly the money American corporations offer to do it this way, is hard to pass. It’s up to us to wake up, and start saying no here.
We used to use glass bottles in the 70’s. And those bottles were all recycled giving consumers money per bottle. It’s more expensive, but it worked and was more sustainable.
Best way to solve the problem is to tackle it at the source. If you produce a product, you have to pay a recycling fee to cover the cost. That will help encourage manufacturers to choose sustainable methods and materials. Currently, the cheapest materials are typically chosen, because the cost to dispose of the product is paid for by tax payers.
@ - it sure does. And it gives me more options to buy something recyclable instead having to buy cheap single use plastic products. Why would a manufacturer make something using more expensive, but easier to recycle products without some incentive?
Agreed. The solution: Incorporate the recycling cost at the time of purchase. Standardise plastic containers into 15 types for example and colour code them for east sorting. Or create a minimal return cost to where they sell the product, for example, 10p for a plastic bottle, so the buyer pays an extra 10p for plastic and when the empty bottle is returned, they get their 10p back, then it would be the responsibility of the manufacturer to recycle the product. Reply
the consumer will pay eventually. already happened in Europe. consumer need to pay extra cost for the bottle advance and then supermarket will give you a same coupon if you bring the bottle back to the recycling machine. you will lose the extra cost if you don't bring back. do you like this, i don't like.
@@larryho3168 - yeah, I’m not a fan of the bottle return policy. It definitely helped reduce litter, but now people are digging through my trash to find them. My solution should be better, because the manufacturers are now helping towns pay for waste management. That should result in lower taxes for residents which will obviously be offset by higher product costs. The hope though is that there will be a net savings as production switches to more recyclable materials.
The current Canadian government tried to ban single plastics from stores, but the plastic industry lobbies, the oily Province of Alberta and its despicable Premier and also federal courts all contributed to overturned that. Plain environmental irresponsibility especially from the federal court that overturned it🤬
Yes, Governments have their responsibility, but the worst impact comes from careless consumers, they just buy and dispose without considering the impact to the environment. Each person should be responsible of their own waste, reducing consumption, sorting their waste and reusing when possible.
Ban single use plastic objects that are not necessary or for which biodegradable replacements can be made. Impose large costs on plastic manufacture and better financial incentives to recycle. Basically, we need to STOP using plastics. We are already too late. This cannot be done soon enough.
Because rich countries pay them to be their dumpster, people really like to pretend they are doing something by "recycling" while ignoring the other 2 more important R's (Reduce and Reuse)
the problem was never making use of plastic or transforming it, but identifying and sorting. Consider how most products are composites of glues , different plastics and resins ... its a huge mess and pain. If we dont make laws about how you can usw plastic to be able to be recycled, then we have to do ththings like destructive distillation, nothing else works at scale without big provlems.

@ no intention to attribute fault by me. I was noting that the news headline seemed to bend over to avoid the clear story which was USA exports rubbish to Mexico
When Canada dumped a bunch of trash on a beach in the Philippines the president threatened to declare war and the ship came back then cleaned up the beach.
The funny part is that just a small amount of cities in Mexico separate the trash, there isn't really a culture of recycling over here. This is very surprising...
The only solution is that people should wake up and live responsibly. More than 80% of plastic is unnecessary. Remaining can and should be properly recycled...🙏

A glass bottle weighs 19x more than a plastic bottle. The amount of transport pollution involved in using a glass bottle is worse than dealing with plastic trash
The main current problem is the method of production tied to consumerism. For example, here in Mexico, before the arrival of aluminum bottling companies, everything was consumed in glass bottles. These bottles were exchanged when purchasing beverages, or if you didn’t bring one, you were charged for the glass container. In this way, the production of packaging, in this case the container, was reduced. Moreover, products taste better in glass than in aluminum. A large portion of today’s waste is merely packaging for a product. Instead of refilling products as we do with gasoline, we buy an unnecessary container with every purchase, as if we didn’t have the technology to do without such containers. If we reconsider this case and extrapolate it, we find situations where products are deliberately designed to expire after a year or two, forcing consumers to buy replacements. These replacements often have minimal or trivial changes from the previous product and focus primarily on planned obsolescence.
Plastic needs to become a crime for manufacturers on unnecessary use of plastics. Example: plastic water bottles, packaging and so on. Also make the plastics returnable for $$$.
In the Philippines, while they are claiming to partcipate actively in global environmental reforms, new coal plants are being built in the southernmost part. Although this is a lagging indicator of the uneven development of financial and non-financial factors of the market, this habit of inconsistencies borne out of a non-holistic view of addressing environmental degradation, and environmental rehabilitation planning---- creates more risks and expenses or losses in the medium to long run.
Thank you for the documentary. One way to reduce the use of single use plastic is to implement the bulk selling strategy, where the plastic packaging is reduced or prevented. For example you buy your bread from a bakery, instead of bakeries bulk packaging the bread in plastic and shipping it to centralized stores like Costco.
I want to see a documentary about all the ways people are living their lives plastic free. How about the companies specializing in zero-waste options? What about countries, states, and cities that are banning non-circular options! Minnesota passed a bill holding manufacturers responsible for their packaging waste. In Minneapolis, there's a company called TARE, which is a zero-waste grocery store. Interview people who have found ways to convert their lives away from plastics.

Like the wrapper. That is tough plastic and you can grab it and throw it. Rip it off and garbage. I stop selling sodas in my shop. I only have reusable 5 gallon water bottles and we can refill your reusable water bottle. Even the cups, Eco cups. I hate it but tourism also requires food and refreshments and we can have a lot of waste, if we do not be proactive as well as traveller’s join as we all should think of our waste

So many inconsistencies and fallacies in this report. All made through zoom, leaving behind those experts who would give a better image of what is truly happening. Zero field investigation. A report filled with stereotypes and falsehoods.
I think it's a fools game. WE ARE GREEN, just read our label. Mean while many communities protest the giant Taiwan (Chinese) companies that make those products, also in the USA. They have to find an area that is poor enough that they are willing to except the problems that come with the companies. There is nothing better per pound than plastics. It's great to have the labels that say GREEN, but it really doesn't go much farther than that. Maybe it should be compared to nuclear waste. Plastics certainly take a very long time to degrade, and it's everywhere. As are it's effects.
A pest for beeehives is the wax moth, whose digestive system has bacteria that can break down molecules of plastic into safe organic components. This is being investigated for scaling into an industrial biomimicry process. Yes, tax current plastic products to foster use of alternatives but deal with existing plastic waste by using industrial digestion.

Plastic was mass-produced starting in the 1960s, after WWII. So, what did people use before then? To answer your question, I would suggest holding corporations accountable or even banning their use of plastic, as most people tend to prioritize short-term convenience over long-term health and the well-being of our planet. Buy less, use less. Or, as inconvenient as it may be, reduce population growth if no other solutions are found.
