That doesn't really happen anymore. China stopped accepting plastic waste because there was no economic way to recycle it, even using Chinese labor. The plastic industry talks a lot about recycling and even includes those helpful triangles on their products, but in reality the vast majority of plastics go straight to the dump, even when you wash them and separate them out into the blue bins.
