Several companies in China were exposed after they were found to be making food products under unsanitary conditions, using medical waste products to produce plastics, and recycling soiled diapers to make new ones, according to a report by China’s state broadcaster CCTV on March 15.
Bags of waste products were being stored and kept at Chinese companies, the report revealed. The material was broken down and turned into plastic pellets, and then resold to other companies at low prices. The manufacturers were located throughout the country, including in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Shaanxi provinces.
