Answer: Most of the plastics end up in landfills but can also indirectly go to oceans.
Explanation:Landfills are the oldest form of waste treatment and it is still used in many parts of the world. It is the easiest way to dump our plastic ways but is not good for the environment.
When plastic is being moved to landfills, it is often blowed away because it is really light. This can fly away to drainage systems and can indirectly end to rivers and oceans. Plastic in oceans are becoming a huge problem, as many fish are dying, by choking on plastic.
Because o this, many people are trying to recycle them and stop using alot of plastic.
