What is the solution to recycled plastic? There does not seem to be a market for recycled plastic that would support its recycling. Perhaps the costs of using plastics should go up?
I wonder how the beverage and other industries would respond if there was a huge tax on plastic.
- latentcall 3y agoI imagine they’d go back to using glass if the cost of using plastic were higher. Hopefully that ends up being the case, we’ll see.
- scotty79 3y agoI think the sheer amount is so huge that the only viable path is turning plastics into building and insulation materials. I'd love to see plastic tax on every unit of plastic manufactured or imported. I would also like to see large scale cleanup and recycling efforts with their cost institutionally transferred to plastic manufacturers and importers proportionally to their recent output.
