Thank you, this is enormously helpful for having some context to add to discussions.
I've talked to a lot of people in recent years who have seen these headlines and concluded that all recycling, including aluminum and paper products, is actually a lie. We really need more clarity around the recycling situation so people stop drawing their only conclusions from random headlines.
- Tagbert 4y agoMy understanding is that aluminum is actually recycled at a pretty high rate. Metal stock has more value to begin with and the process of remelting do not degrade the metal the way that plastics are.
