Recycling on Four Corners

Just watching the preview for tonight's Four Corners . It's about recycling in Australia . It is a typical behind the scenes version .

One of the interesting things that comes out of it is that it is cheaper to import glass bottles from overseas rather than recycle glass here . Consequently , tons of glass is going to landfill .

I'm not sure whether there is anything illegal going on , I think it might be more about simple economics due to energy prices etc .
