Recycling Doesn’t Work—and the Plastics Industry Knew ItAnd here we go about the waste.. As I have said many times, recycling plastic is not a solution, but rather a convenient distraction and a way to shift the responsibility of large companies for mass production of plastic onto the shoulders of the people. There are some very disturbing news that recycling is not going to help in a long run and there is only 5-6% of collected plastics estimated as being recycled (![url=https://cobaltkiss.blue/users/MostlyHarmless])[/url]. On the other hand, the poorest countries and regions suffer the most from toxic waste products and landfills, because this brings the greatest profit, and if this is still the case, the problem will never be solved.
We need more trade-free goods and services that can be designed from the scratch to reduce the waste, instead of generation the endless profit or competition advantage. In this way, more devices and products that are reusable, free to use, repairable, and durable can benefit our Planet's environment and Human society as a whole.

The industry knew decades ago that recycling was never viable in the long term, and now we’re all being poisoned by its product.
