- zaarn 8y agoDisposable, used-once items are not automatically impossible to recycle or decompose.
- alfredallan1 8y agoYou’re right that they’re not impossible to recycle or decompose. I asked about the economics of getting that done..There’s already a huge problem now that the Chinese are no longer buying trash to recycle cheaply. If the cost of recycling is factored in, do these once-use products remain affordable and profitable? They’re not made from paper, but from plastics and metals, which take specialized recycling.
