Proclamations like this are strong evidence of economic illiteracy. Forcing everything to be recyclable isn’t optimal for society or for the environment.
- SirLuxuryYacht 6y agoCare to elaborate? I'd quite like making Coca Cola, Pepsi, Keurig, etc. pay to recycle or repurpose all the plastic they produce. Especially now that the US is no longer shipping plastics to Asia. I'm fairly certain both my recycling truck and trash trucks deposit their cargo in the same place: the landfill. I think the parent means that manufacturers need to either switch to sustainable materials or pay a premium to use plastics.
