    Recycling is a fraud. It was invented by the oil and plastic industry to pass the blame to consumers and shield themselves from repercussions. While some plastics CAN be recycled, its only numbers 1-3, every other plastic cannot be recycled or its so expensive that companies had no incentive to do it, and this still doesn’t include paper that also has a limit on what it can be recycled to.

      I agree but it doesn’t have to be that way.

      Paper can be recycled 7 times. Every time the quality degrades because the fibers get shorter. The last recycle is purely for toiletpaper or crêpe.

        Suri, but everyone uses toilet paper and that will never be recycled so it’s still a good idea to recycle paper.

    Unless industry is using the raw material produced from recycling, we’ll never get to 100% recycling. People throwing stuff in the blue bag or green bin, whatever it is in your region, that’s only the first step. We are a long way off from 100%. We have countries who have refused to accept shipments of recycled products because there’s no market for that material.

              I think this is my favorite comment on all of lemmy right now. Only thing left to do is have an AI commercial made of Slumber Shitter 5000.

    Everything would be a bit more efficient, a bit more interchangeable nine Ted. Landfills would fill a bit more slowly.

    A useful step to reduce the growth of environmental damage, but not enough
