Bloomberg quoted John Atkinson in a report that a plastic drop-off program embraced by 12,000 retail locations and more than 500 brands in the U.S. has been putting packaging into landfills. The story notes that Atkinson is one of the rare people to look through every piece of plastic collected at two New York retail locations for his research into recycling contamination.
