> isn't the plastic we carefully collected - it's the plastic that "got away". From what I understand, it is the plastic we carefully collected, but didn't properly dispose of. Instead, it was sold to someone else who wasn't so careful or of dubious morals, and they didn't let it get away, they just plain threw it away. If that's truly the case, then hopefully we could cut out the inept or unscrupulous middlemen, and use it for something instead of disposing it.
