I've been trying to find out where Hawaii's recycled bottles and cans go. Are they shipped to the mainland? If so, does it mostly serve to keep our landfills from filling up, or is there a profit made after shipping costs are factored in?
They used to be shipped to China, but that may have changed recently-right?
From an energy standpoint, it's questionable whether recycling makes sense here. The waste to energy plants could be a better option.
