Could be done with water and renewable energy. Recycling water is way easier than plastics.

  The magic wand 'renewable energy' doesn't make every energy-intensive task green. Going back to sanitizing every container used in a country is a huge energy sink - probably larger than all green energy there is.

    And going back and recycling every piece of plastic bottle isn't a huge energy sink taking more than all the green energy there is, isn't going to produce more waste and require new raw materials?
    • JoeAltmaier 8y ago
      Nope. Because vendors switched to plastic, because it costs less (in energy etc)

        Less to produce or less to recycle? :)
