I think education is a major issue here. I know I used to recycle plastics, but after reading through comments on here, I would rather just throw it in the trash and know it will be at a landfill. This makes me feel better than the alternative, in which it is sent overseas and more likely to be dispersed throughout the environment.
- lolinder 3y agoRead the actual article rather than the comments here. The article doesn't say that your recycling that goes to recycling plant doesn't get recycled. It says that most plastic doesn't even make it to the plant, and even the plastic that does can only be recycled the one time. The article does not argue that we should not bother recycling, it argues that in addition to recycling we need to stop plastic at the source. It just has a bad title that sparked an unrelated conversation on HN.
