Some plastic is being recycled; some plastic is going into landfills; some is scattered around cities and countrysides around the world; and a great deal of plastic from all over the world has been collecting in the Pacific Ocean for many years creating the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. There is also evidence that plastic is also collecting in the Atlantic Ocean. See the links below.
