There is also an important question connected with the capabilities of recycling plants: some plastic objects, such as toys, have to be dismantled, broken down into their parts prior to recycling (removing metal bolts or wiring). This adds further costs, so these items are not recycled: most end up buried, or incinerated, or (even worse) thrown into the sea, where according to data supplied by Ispra - Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale, in the Mediterranean alone, almost 50,000 specimens of 116 different species have ingested plastic. Of these, 59% are osseous fish, including those sold for consumption like sardines, red mullet, bream, cod, anchovies, tuna, scampi and shrimp. The remaining 41% are other marine animals like mammals, crustaceans, mollusks, jellyfish, turtles, birds. Many of which are consumed in human nutrition. So everything returns, including the damage.
