AirTags key to discovery of Houston's plastic recycling deception


One Houston resident was suspicious of the city's "all plastic accepted" recycling program, and used AirTags to discover where the plastic waste actually ended up.

CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy referred to Deason as "the James Bond of plastic recycling" for her initiative. Aerial footage showed that the facility had large piles of plastic waste as tall as 10 feet high. The company behind the sorting facility, Cyclix, says it has developed a method to create recyclable pellets out of the plastic waste.
