A few observation points from living in SE Asia for the past 13 years:
- Singapore incinerates most of its plastic
- In places like Indonesia, there aren't great waste collection systems/processes in place. When rainy season comes along, months worth of accumulated garbage/plastic gets washed out to sea. In Bali, Jimbaran beach accumulates literal mounds of plastic waste (google for pictures).
- Again in Indo, even if plastic is collected and sent to the trash dump (read: not a land fill), it gets washed out to sea when it rains.
