Even back in the early days of recycling, it was pretty well known that this wouldn’t work. Think about how much plastic you use in your daily life. For recycling to work, a considerable amount of that would need to be reused plastic. But it isn’t. Because a lot of it simply isn’t able to be recycled, as the article points out. So every day we end up making way more new plastic than reused plastic. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out that you might as well not recycle….
We really should’ve stopped single use plastics decades ago. Simple as that. Except for straws; there’s nothing else that works as well as a simple plastic straw. That’s the one thing we should’ve kept.
