What happens when a plastic bag is thrown away?

Answer 1

It piles up in landfills. Plastic takes a very long time to decompose. Wildlife can also get caught in some plastic shapes and get hurt or die. This is why it's important to recycle, it helps keep landfills from filling up and we can reuse our old plastic instead of having to make new plastic.

Answer 2

Collectors empty all of the recycling bins and bring the material back to the Recycling Center. After we ship them to the market, the plastic bottles are chipped into small flakes, washed, melted and turned into pellets which are sold the plastic bottle manufacturers who make new bottles or other plastic products.
