  I had to check, and it looks like at least as far as plastic goes, in Finland it’s either sent to two domestic recycling plants, and everything they can’t handle is shipped to Sweden’s Site Zero in Motala (dunno where they go from there.)

  But yeah, something like using shredded plastic for road surfacing definitely isn’t what I’d call a sensible way to recycle the material. It’s just adding an extra step before getting to “microplastic endocrine disruptors EVERYWHERE”

  the recycling system is broken and often just a complete lie in many places in the world.

  In many places in the world, or mainly the US? I keep seeing this claim repeated but usually any proof is just about the US

  Fun English facts: “apron” used to be “napron”, but “a napron” was eventually incorrectly split into “an apron”. Same with “adder” which used to be “naddre”, and “umpire” which was “noumpere”
