as posted by the channel

Mexico imported more than 660,000 tons of plastic waste for recycling between 2015 and 2021, according to official figures. Most of that garbage came from the United States. Although it is a legitimate business, environmental organizations have criticized irregularities in the way plastic waste is controlled, and legal loopholes. A large part of the plastic waste cannot be recycled and ends up in landfills or in the ocean.
