    This is a huge step. Plastic recycling is a scam literally designed by advertisers to sell more plastic. Much plastic marked as recyclable is not; much cannot be recycled in most areas; much that is technically recyclable cannot be recycled due to cost related to contamination.

    It’s something like 70-80% of Aluminium is recycled globally. For plastics, that number is around 8 or 9 percent.
