The phrase “open source” (still) matters

  > The vast majority of plastic is non-recyclable That's an interesting claim. I believed most of it would be recyclable, at least the packaging types (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP).

    This is an overly pedantic take; the vast majority of plastic is not on track to be recycled. In the best cases, it gets sequestered in the ground where it won't degrade into additional micro plastics.

      but the point was that the plastic bears a sign meaning/implying that it is recyclable. whether the plastic will eventually be recycled or not is irrelevant, since that's not what the sign would convey, nor would anyone interpret it as such.
