They go to the Heaven of the cladding world, where they live out their immortal life into infinity and beyond, though according to your belief, they may well go to Paradise, Moksha or Nirvana, all of which are equally valid.

So it is OK to stack this stuff up in any unlimited quantity anywhere?

Yeah, because they'll be so much safer internally.

I suspect we're exporting them to China for 'recycling' so they'll come back again in a couple of years with some new complianCE stikers attached.
