Synopsis
Korea is the biggest plastic consumer in the world. Unwanted plastic waste is illegally exported abroad, harming the environment and causing conflicts in those countries. Not all plastic is recyclable. Unrecycled plastic waste is either sent to landfill sites or incineration plants. What are we going to do with the 10 million tons of plastic waste produced every year? People thoughtlessly use plastic assuming that it will all be recycled when disposed separately. In particular, Southeast Asian countries are gravely suffering from plastic pollution. They have trouble with illegally imported waste and also the waste produced in their own countries. Plastic Earth and plastic Korea. This documentary shows where we are with plastic.
