    Recycling is literally a scam plastic either can’t be recycled, can but are not recycled, are recycled while producing more waste than would be saved by not recycled or incinerated. Recycling plastic has never been possible they knew that from the beginning and nothing changed with modern technology. This is just shifting the blame back to himself.

      It’s also way, way cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle it. As long as that’s the case, it’ll be a scam.
