I think recycling is the distraction that packaging companies use to stop the public being infinitely angry with them for spewing infinite garbage into the world.
Hey, it's OK that we're making never ending garbage, look, its being recycled!
But the reality is that most recycling was just garbage being sent to China and now China has stopped accepting it the lie of recycling has been exposed. Gigantic piles of "recycling" are accumulating around the world.
"Recycling" isn't any solution to the garbage manufacturing industry / packaging industry.
If we want a world that isn't "garbage world" then we have to stop paying companies to make garbage/packaging.
