of an 18 month investigation, we put trackers into plastic bags earmarked for recycling and dropped them off at 46 major retail stores across the country. a majority of the bags ended up at landfills or incinerators, but three of the 19 trackers dropped off at walmart stores ended up in southeast asia, two of them in malaysia, not far from where pooley pang lives. >> we want to let people who send their waste to malaysia know that we need your help. >> for over a year, walmart said they were willing to talk but never made anyone available for an interview. so we decided to attend a conference where their chief sustainability officer was speaking. >> hi mister coffin, i'm matt gutman with abc news. >> how are you? good. we are doing a story about plastic that was earmarked. plastic bags were earmarked for recycling by walmart. yes. and ended up as plastic waste in indonesia and
