The parts that couldn't be downcycled were thrown away there, shipped all the way to India just to be dumped in someone else's backyard.

不能回收的部分就丢弃在那，一路海运到印度只为了丢在别人家的后院。

But that wasn't what was happening here. Instead, these bottles were slated to be downcycled, which means turning them into lower quality products that would just be chucked later.

但那不是在这的事。相反地，这些宝特瓶预定回收，意思就是将它们变成之后只会扔掉的较低品质产品。
