Agree. Also recycling plastics was mostly a lie. I used to think that small triangular icon with a number in it on plastic containers meant it can be recycled as it looks almost exactly the same with the recycling icon. It turned out I was too naive. Those icons were actually called Resin Identification Code or RIC, which actually have nothing to do with recycling but rather to make you think it can be recycled. The dire fact is that it's uneconomical to recycle most of the plastics, especially those tiny plastic pieces, i.e. bottle caps. Since it's cost more by using recycled plastics, you would see some genius solution by exporting plastics to other countries like China. Now China has realized that and soon will the other countries. So the plastics waste exporting practice is about to come to its end. But before that, I don't see why they would stop using plastics as they are really cheap and versatile.
