According to the UN, around 11 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans every year.
On the International Day Without Plastic Bags, People correspondent Stephanie Hegarty questions the effectiveness of plastic recycling efforts.
She notes that even in countries where a lot of plastic waste is collected, only a fraction of it gets recycled. Some may be sent to a developing country where they meet an unknown destination. Some, for example in Germany, can be burned.
And when a plastic bottle is recycled, it can be turned into products like food trays or fabrics that are much less likely to be recycled at the end of their life.
