Reply to comment by KCPR13 in [OC] Plastic waste emitted to the ocean per country by sometiara1

  1. The problem with plastic is not exclusively ocean-trash related

  2. A lot of the plastic "from Asia" is shipped there from the West because they don't know what to do with it, then the people they ship it to in Asia sometimes dump it in the ocean. So a lot of that is functionally still from the West

Actually a lot of recycable materials from Western Europe is processed in Eastern countries of the European Union like Poland.
