this is about the thin grocery store bags. What surprised me was they had a few that actually were recycled it seems. Anyway its about the directory indicating recycling drop off locations and not the recycling which I thought at first. It came out because of an investigative report that showed most where going to landfills and incinerators with some going overseas and some actually being recycled.
Yeah. Only 4 out of 55 instances tracked made it to a recycling center. Target and Walmart did not want to comment on the fact that they were largely just throwing them away.
I have become pretty pessimistic with this stuff though so 4 blew me away and technically the offshore might be recycled (but again pessimistic). I figured it was a goose egg but at least that means that using reusable bags is definately the way to go.
