Recycling is a big lie, and I don't understand why we still validate this concept. Most things can be recycled only once (paper and glass being the exception), and eventually they go to trash.
Also, the resources used to recycle are important, and recycling can have damaging effect on nature.
- ginja 4y agoMetals are also recyclable as many times as you want. Recycling is not perfect but I don’t understand the negativity. Do you really think it would be preferable to just send everything straight to landfills instead of trying to recycle what we can, even if only once?
- bibelo 4y agoNo, I'm saying recycling gives a false sense of security, when in reality it's a very very imperfect system with flaws people are not aware of Nothing should be sent to trash When creating a new thing, vendors should make an end-of-life impact study, with the aim of 0% waste, ie make the thing with non polluting materials (wood?) and infinitely recyclable materials
- ekianjo 4y agoRecycling is overhyped because its a very difficult process that also consumes large amounts of time and energy. For very little purpose.
