Secret sites reveal REDcycle collapse far worse than first thought New stashes of plastic waste, which REDcycle was being paid many millions to recycle, have been exposed.... ....REDcycle's failed nationwide operation since the company was found late last year to have been stockpiling plastics in warehouses instead of recycling them.
In December, about 3000 tonnes of soft plastics, or the equivalent of half-a-billion plastic bags, were tallied up across 18 sites. But over the last three months, authorities have been able to confirm REDcycle had been hiding more than double that number, with 44 stockpiles now known.
Thousands of tonnes of plastic rubbish paid millions for to be recycled, stockpiled instead. Just another day in a throwaway mentality society.
