Plastic recycling creates lots of microplastics & most plastic isn't even recyclable.
☝️🤓 Just about all thermoplastics are recyclable.
…they just aren't being recycled, because it's expensive, energy intensive and overall not a great solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.
Do you think the whole "not really recyclable" trope could actually be a campaign by big oil to resign people to the assertion that we just need to keep producing more new plastics?
certainly feels that way, here in sweden we haven't been poisoned by this idea and thus simply went ahead and built a facility to handle recycling of most plastics, as is sensible.
