We asked 3 companies to recycle Canadian plastic and secretly tracked it. Only 1 company recycled the material | CBC News
Do you know where your recycling really goes after it's been picked up?
After several instances of Canadian plastic waste turning up overseas in places like the Philippines and Malaysia, CBC's Marketplace wanted to track the lifecycle of Canadian plastic.
Journalists bought bales of film plastic ready for recycling, hid trackers inside them, and then re-inserted the plastic back into the recycling stream in British Columbia — the province known for having the most efficient recycling program in Canada.
Using an alias email, Marketplace reached out and commissioned three major waste collection businesses with ties to municipal programs in B.C. to process the material. The bales were picked up by Merlin Plastics, Waste Connections of Canada, and GFL Environmental Inc.
Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Artificial Sweeteners
There are a lot of myths about artificial sweeteners. The main one is that they’re actually better for you than regular sugar. Low-calorie sweeteners have been around for decades now, and we’re finally at a point where we’ve studied them enough to understand roughly how they work and what effect they have on our bodies.
A new study presented at the 2018 Experimental Biology meeting has re-raised all these issues and also re-confirmed what researchers have been thinking for years: artificial sweeteners might actually cause obesity, not prevent it.
