In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I take a look at how recycling works and where recycled items go after they hit the recycling bin. Specifically, I follow a plastic bottle that makes its way from a recycling truck to the processing facility. That plastic bottle finally makes its way across the sea to a recycling plant. The main question this video seeks to answer is whether recycling works anymore and whether it's still environmentally friendly.
