> this was the case a few years ago, maybe not anymore? I'm not sure what happens with the plastic in SE Asia, but we still send most of our plastic there. ht

  Bullshit. This statistic is listing the share of exported plastics that are exported to certain countries. But that's not "most of our plastic", because overall exports are around ~10%. So "most of our plastic" is either recycled or burned within Germany. (Not saying any of this is ideal, but it's not helping to spread false information.)

    I apologize. I chose poor wording to the point where my sentence it is becoming untrue. I meant something like: “The majority of plastic we export to other countries is still being exported to SE Asia”.
