The packaging industry thinks it has a solution to the problem: recycling. "100% recyclable" is printed on more and more bottles, boxes and bags.

The world is drowning in garbage This film takes a close look at an industry that would rather hide the problem than solve it. The authors track down garbage brokers who illegally dump plastic waste abroad, industries that make money from incinerating garbage, and mafia networks that now make as much money from smuggling garbage as they do from human trafficking.
