Hmmm, you’re making a totally different point now…
You wrote in essence, “it’s no point recycling plastic because we burn it” – that just does not make sense to me. It’s like saying ”there’s no point braking because we’re driving into a wall anyway”.
Now you’re talking about the fact that paper straw produce more CO2 than plastic straws overall (production, import, etc…) and hence plastic straw don’t need to be banned – which I actually also disagree with but that’s not my question.
My question is, why does burning trash means you don’t have to recycle plastic?
- sschueller 2y ago> why does burning trash means you don’t have to recycle plastic? By burning the plastic you eliminate the problem that it causes. You also gain some energy back from it. If you can recycle plastic easily like PET then that is a good alternative but most plastics are difficult to sort and recycle.
