Tonight on 60 Minutes, reporter Liam Bartlett exposes our national recycling lie: that the majority of our plastic waste is not being reused or recycled at all. Instead it is ending up dumped, buried or even burned in illegal processing locations in Southeast Asia.

I think waste management companies should get support by the government!!
“According to Connett, we have had the technological capability to recycle 80-90% of our waste stream since the mid eighties. What has held us back has been an artificial corporate-centered view that maximizes profit for waste management companies, the contractors who build and operate incinerators and soft drink bottling companies.”

Aunty, I find Connett’s words even more true now than 5 years ago. We are only just bringing in a ban on single use plastic bags in NZ – after fighting for it for 16 years.
