I thought that this was mostly known that for a long time our "recycled" stuff was getting shipped to China and burned. That ended not that long ago so I wonder what they're actually doing with it now. Maybe actually recycling it perhaps? It's a shame that this stuff is happening. Lots of feel good measures that aren't helping anything.

The article does not claim that recycling programs don't actually recycle, it just has a really bad title given to it by a really bad editor. What the article is actually about is how not enough plastic ends up at the recycling center in the first place, and how even if it did it couldn't be recycled a second time, so we still need to stop plastic at the source.
