Según un nuevo informe, la industria del plástico fomentó a sabiendas el mito del reciclado durante décadas https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plastic-industry-knowingly-pushed-recycling-myth-for-decades-new-report-finds
Por supuesto... hay que ser muy escéptico cuando las empresas productoras de plástico se muestran tan entusiasmadas con el "reciclaje". Por supuesto que les gustan estos programas aunque no funcionen (como es el caso actual) ya que les permite producir más plástico y obtener más beneficios.
El reciclaje sólo es relevante cuando no hay un gran incentivo para producir residuos en primer lugar.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plastic-industry-knowingly-pushed-recycling-myth-for-decades-new-report-findsOf course...one must be very skeptical when the companies producing plastic are so keen about "recycling". Of course they like these programs even if they do not work (which is the case today) since it allows them to produce more plastic and make more profits.
Recycling is only relevant when there is not a huge incentive to produce waste in the first place.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds
The world produces an average of 430 million metric tons of plastic each year. The United States alone produces tens of millions of tons of plastic waste annually. Yet on average, only about 5 to 6 percent of plastic in the U.S. is recycled.Ali Rogin (PBS NewsHour)
