Is it really? I've just assumed all along that it won't be during my life time (outside of small scale demonstrations and special plastics). I think most recycling (outside of obviously simple wins like aluminum and steel cans) is a joke, designed to keep people busy and distracted while real polluters (like aluminum manufacturers who use gigantic amounts of electrical power mainly derived from coal plants and over the road truckers who are still fighting implementing 30 year old emissions standards) go about their business. We train children that recycling paper and yogurt boxes is going to save the planet when in reality consumer recycling is a drop in the bucket and amounts to basically nothing.
