Thousands of tonnes of soft plastics have been discovered in six Melbourne warehouses as Victoria's environment watchdog probes a halted recycling scheme.
The REDcycle soft plastics recycling scheme was paused last month after the company announced it could no longer offload the material it was collecting.
The state's Environment Protection Watchdog (EPA) said 3,000 tonnes of soft plastics were being stored in the warehouses in the city's northern and western suburbs, with much of the plastic believed to have come from interstate.
