When I last stayed at a very small and remote resort in the Philippines, a lot of plastic water bottles washed up from Vietnam and Malaysia on an otherwise tiny, clean/pristine beach.
Regarding China...
"...analysts point out that most of the waste consumed by China’s recycling industry comes from domestic sources, not imports. As for the millions of tonnes of waste that will soon be blocked at China’s border, some of the high-quality waste will find buyers in other countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam or Indonesia. The rest will probably end up in a landfill."
